The BRIDGE initiative (Building Research on Inequality and Diversity to Grow Equity) at Rice University seeks to further: 1) knowledge of the patterns, causes, consequences, and experience of inequality; 2) dialogue and action with respect to inequality within and beyond the university; and 3) the training of future scholars of inequality. To promote and support engagement with external scholars, practitioners, and professionals that enrich ongoing or potential projects that contribute to the initiative’s vision, we invite applications from the Rice University community for funding to support visitors to Rice during the 2020-2021 academic year.

Graduate Student Conference Travel Grants (GSCT) of up to $400 are available to graduate students in the Social Sciences at Rice who are presenting a paper or a poster as a first author at a conference or meeting.
