   The 2014 UCF/IAMCR Urban Communication Research Grant

Funded by the Urban Communication Foundation <http://urbancomm.org/>, 
this grant will support communication and media research that advances 
our understanding of the growing complexity of the urban environment. It 
is predicated on the assumption that communication scholars have a 
valuable contribution to make to an understanding of the urban 
landscape. The grant is open to all IAMCR members in good standing.

The EUR1500 grant is designed to support research already in progress or 
in the beginning stages. It gives priority to projects that feature 
innovative, inter-disciplinary, applied, and creative approaches to 
studying the central role of communication in the transformation of 
urban cultures and communities.

A 5-person committee consisting of three IAMCR members and two Urban 
Communication Foundation representatives will judge the proposals. IAMCR 
representatives in the committee are Aimée Vega Montiel, Cees Hamelink 
and Nico Carpentier. Urban Communication Foundation representatives are 
Gary Gumpert and Susan Drucker.

The grant will be awarded each year at the annual IAMCR Conference, this 
year scheduled for Hyderabad, India, July 15-19, 2014. Grant winners are 
expected to attend the conference and to report to IAMCR and the UCF on 
the progress of their research at the following year's conference.
