Leboy-Davies Graduate Student Award - Created in honor of Phoebe Leboy and Helen Davies, two pioneering feminist faculty members in the health sciences, this award provides up to $2,000 in research or travel funding to a graduate student whose work fosters women’s health, well-being, and educational equality anywhere in the world, or enhances our understanding of gender inequality.
Phyllis Rackin Graduate Award - Created in honor of Phyllis Rackin, a pioneering feminist scholar and former faculty member in the English Department at Penn, this award provides up to $2,000 in research or travel funding to a graduate student in the School of Arts and Sciences whose research creates or promotes new scholarship on women, gender, and/or sexuality in the humanities.
Graduate Student Research Expense Grants - The FQT Center’s GSWS Graduate Student Research Grants provide competitive grants of up to $500 designed to support research-related expenses, including (but not limited to) conference registration and travel, research travel, transcription and other materials.
Non Tenure Track Teaching Faculty Research Grant - The Penn GSWS program wishes to assist non-tenured teaching faculty in their academic research, given the importance of their continued contribution to academic scholarship. In support of this goal, the GSWS program offers research grants, between $2000-$3,000 each, specifically for non-tenure track teaching faculty whose research is under the rubric of feminist, gender, sexuality, women's and transgender studies. The grant may be used at any time during the academic year to support research-related expenses.
The Lynda S. Hart Teaching Award for Faculty and Graduate Students - This award recognizes teachers who have cultivated a learning environment that facilitates, encourages, and engages feminist critique and who prioritize inclusive classroom practices. Two awards will be given: one to faculty and one to graduate students teaching or TAing GSWS owned or GSWS cross-listed courses.
LGBTQ & Gender Studies Undergraduate Student Research Expense Grants - The FQT Center’s LGBTQ & Gender Studies Undergraduate Student Research Expense Grants provide competitive grants up to $500 designed to support research-related expenses for projects that address questions central to LGBTQ and/or gender studies.
