Rackham International Research Award (RIRA)
Amount
$6500
Description
The Rackham Graduate School announces the Rackham International Research Awards (RIRA) to support doctoral and master’s students conducting degree-related research outside the United States and Puerto Rico. There is no preference for particular fields of study and Rackham and the International Institute aim to fund a diverse array of students and projects. The grant is intended to defray the costs of conducting clearly defined research projects including:
- Travel and living expenses.
- Research-related expenses, e.g., subject fees, access to specialized data sets, purchase of archival materials or images unavailable in the United States, laboratory supplies that will be consumed in the course of the project.
- Temporary research assistants or transcribers (Note: requests for this type of expense must include a compelling explanation of why the student cannot perform the work him or herself).
- Purchase of laboratory or fieldwork equipment or specialized software (Note: this type of expense has special limitations).
- Simultaneous with the conduct of the research itself, the study of a language necessary for the research that is not taught at U-M.
