[Commlist] call for applications: 2020 IAMCR Urban Communication Research Grant

Fri Apr 10 18:54:38 GMT 2020



The deadline for applications for the 2020 IAMCR Urban Communication Research Grant has been extended. It is now 30 April 2020.

The grant is worth USD 1,750 and supports communication and media research that advances understanding of the growing complexity of the urban environment. The grant is hosted by the International Association for Media and Communication Research and funded by the Urban Communication Foundation. 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 USD 1,750 grant is designed to support research already in progress or in the beginning stages. Priority is given 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. The grant is not intended for already completed research presented at the current IAMCR Conference in Tampere.

A 7-person committee consisting of five IAMCR members and two Urban Communication Foundation representatives will judge the proposals. IAMCR representatives in the committee are Nico Carpentier (Chair), Cees Hamelink, Janet Wasko, Aimée Vega Montiel and Olesya Venger. Urban Communication Foundation representatives are Gary Gumpert and Susan Drucker.

The grant is awarded each year at the annual IAMCR Conference, but this year it will be part of the online IAMCR conference, organised by Tampere University. Grant winners must report to IAMCR and the UCF on the progress of their research at the 2021 year conference, and are required to submit a paper for this conference.

Application Procedure

Submit the application electronically to (UrbanCommunication2020 /at/ iamcr.org).

Applications will be accepted until April 30, 2020. Applicants must be current members of IAMCR.

The complete application must include:

* A letter of application, not exceeding two pages, that describes the proposed research or research already in progress, the significance of the work to urban communication, and the methodology to be employed. A description of any special funding needs is also welcome (e.g. travel, research assistants, technical support).
* A current CV
* A sample of applicant's work relevant to the proposed research

NOTE: Your email application must have "Urban Communication" in the subject line.

The grant winner will be notified by May, 27 2020.
