Faculty Funding Opportunities
The Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) Faculty Fund was created to support CLAS Faculty in their research and other academic endeavors. This small grant funds projects on Latin America, the Caribbean, and/or Latinx Studies, that will enhance disciplinary expertise, improve upon existing knowledge, and/or enrich the Latin American/Caribbean content of courses.
The CLAS Travel to Professional Meetings Small Grants were established to support faculty in advancing their professional development and sharing their work in Latin American, Caribbean, and Diasporic Studies (such as Latinx studies) with the broader academic community. These grants provide travel funds for faculty to attend conferences and professional meetings.
The Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) is pleased to announce the CLAS Course Development Grant. This grant supports faculty in enhancing existing courses or creating new ones that include content on Latin America, the Caribbean, Latinx, or other diasporic studies from the region.
The Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) offers financial, promotional, and logistical support for events and presentations that align with our mission and research priorities. We consider requests for modest funding for events held on any of Pitt's campuses that focus on Latin America, the Caribbean, and the diverse diasporic communities connected to these regions. This funding can also be applied to support visitors participating in these events.
