Grants & Fellowships > For Stanford Faculty

Conference Program

Faculty Conference Grants will not be available for the 2009-2010 academic year.

The faculty-led conference program offers faculty and students from Stanford as well as other institutions the opportunity to present their current research and explore topics of common intellectual concern. Events may be open to the Stanford community and the general public where appropriate.

The core goals of the program include:

The realization and development of new research ideas or the presentation of major research findings in a given area.
The exploration of ideas and issues that cross the usual disciplinary or institutional boundaries and/or themes which have an international context.
The support of collaborative research, particularly in the development of areas of research that no single researcher or institution could address alone.

All proposals must be chaired by at least one faculty member. To foster and strengthen linkages and existing connections between Latin American scholars, students and professionals, we especially welcome proposals involving Latin American colleagues and counterparts. Previous programs sponsored and supported by the Center for Latin American Studies have included "Tropical Dry Forests of Latin America," "II Symposium on Portuguese for Spanish Speakers," "Latin American Politics Lecture Series" and "Roundtable on the Central Andean Formative Period." Our annual deadline is in June for the following academic year.
