Graduate student research award:
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
