University of Oregon graduate students can apply for up to $3,000 to support research and/or creative work on women and gender from a range of disciplines across UO colleges and schools. Go to the CSWS website for examples of funded research during last year’s grant cycle.

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 $27,000 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 stipend 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 stipend.

Applications for all 2026-27 graduate student research grants will be available on the CSWS website beginning Friday, Nov. 7.

The deadline to submit all research grant applications is 5 p.m. Monday, January 26, 2026. Please be sure to download guidelines and read them before filling out your application.
