Hello, Please see below for information about EGSG awards focused on students.
The AAG Economic Geography Specialty Group makes three annual awards in economic geography, with the results announced each year at the AAG annual conference. Graduate Student Research Award (deadline: January 15, 2013) These competitive awards ($750 each) are designed to support innovative and original graduate student research that is likely to make a significant contribution to the development of the field of economic geography. Proposals will be judged on the basis of the theoretical and substantive significance of the research, and the appropriateness of the methods employed. Funds can be used towards travel, subsistence, equipment and/or other normal research expenses. Applications should include (a) a one-page vita, with full contact details, (b) a two-page statement, detailing the nature of the proposed research, its expected contribution, and the uses to which award funds would be put. Awardees must be registered graduate students throughout the duration of the award. Applications should be submitted by January 15, 2013 to Kris Olds <[email protected]>.
