CSWS invites applications for all 2025-26 faculty, staff, and graduate student research grants to support research and/or creative work that addresses women and gender from a range of disciplines across UO colleges and schools. Applications are due 5 p.m. Monday, January 27, 2025. 

University of Oregon graduate students can apply for up to $3,000 and faculty/staff can apply for up to $6,000 . See examples of funded research during previous grant cycles.

The prestigious Jane Grant fellowship—honoring Jane Grant, early feminist and wife of CSWS’s benefactor, William Harris—is given annually to an outstanding scholar writing a dissertation on women and gender. Only UO graduate students who have been advanced to candidacy (or will be by the date of the award) are eligible to be considered for this competitive fellowship, which carries a stipend of $24,000 for the academic year, plus additional benefits.

CSWS also offers a $3,000 Graduate Writing Completion Fellowship to doctoral students who are in the early stages of dissertation writing. The intent of this competitive fellowship is to provide a summer writing award to one or more top finalists for the Jane Grant Dissertation Fellowship. All Jane Grant Dissertation Fellowship applicants will automatically be considered for the writing completion award.
