[Commlist] CFP: Surveillance Studies Network Small Research Grant

A CFP from the Surveillance Studies Network:

We are pleased to announce that in response to feedback from our members 
we have made available some funding to support scholars working in 
economically under-resourced regions. Through a “Surveillance Studies 
Network (SSN) Small Research Grant” we will be able to make *up to**four 
awards of up to £500 each* available for the 2019-2020 academic year. 
This award will also be accompanied by a two year SSN membership. The 
Small Grants Committee will review and select recipients based on the 
following criteria and process.**

*Eligibility*

Surveillance Studies Network members (/or non-members who conduct 
surveillance-related research and would like to become part of SSN/) are 
encouraged to apply, with preference given to persons who:

·justify themselves as working in an economically under-resourced region;

·are early career researchers (i.e., a doctoral student or researcher 
who has earned their PhD in the last five years);

·have not previously received funding through the SSN Small Research 
Grant; and,

·submit all required criteria prior to the application deadline.

**

*Evaluation Criteria*

We will be evaluating applications based on their articulation of 
specific research-related activities that would significantly augment 
the applicant’s program of research, but that would not be feasible 
without additional funding. Additionally, we will take into 
consideration the overall feasibility of the proposed work and the 
extent to which it is likely to make a significant contribution to 
surveillance studies.

**

*Process*

Please submit a brief proposal (1 page maximum) outlining the activities 
to be conducted, the importance of these activities to your program of 
research, a brief justification of your region of residence as 
economically under-resourced, comments on your suitability for the award 
based on the other criteria of preference, and a timeline for 
completion. (All awarded funds must be spent by June 30, 2020.) 
Additionally, please submit a separate budget (1 page maximum) outlining 
your plans for using any awarded funds up to a maximum of £500 (e.g., 
travel, transcription services, informant payments, technical equipment).

**

*Send your proposal and budget in one document to Alana Saulnier 
<mailto:(alana.saulnier /at/ lakeheadu.ca)> on or before March 30, 2019.*

Notification of awards will be made as soon as possible after the deadline.
