The Kinsey Institute Students Research Grant Program

The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction at Indiana University is pleased to announce The Kinsey Institute Student Research Grants. This program confers sexuality research grants to emerging scholars and seeks to fund significant and innovative research, from a wide array of disciplines and perspectives, that deals with human sexuality. The program is supported by donations from Friends of The Kinsey Institute.

2010 Recipients of Kinsey Institute Student Research Grants

The Kinsey Institute will fund up to six proposals at $750 each, including three from graduate students at Indiana University and three from graduate students enrolled at other universities. It is an expectation that results from the funded studies will ultimately be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals. In addition, descriptions of the research will be posted on The Kinsey Institute’s website.

Information on the 2011 Student Research Grants will be posted here in the fall of 2010.

Applications for funding should include a clear and concise research description (study rationale, methods, and planned data analysis), a budget, and a letter of support from a faculty mentor/advisor. The maximum length is three pages for the research description and one page for the budget. All applicants must be registered as full time graduate students at accredited universities in the United States.

In one year’s time following the funding award, we require awardees to submit to The Kinsey Institute preliminary findings of the study in the forms of a one page final report. In addition, the awardees will send the institute any presented/accepted abstracts for presentations at scientific meetings and/or submitted/accepted publications in peer-reviewed journals that are based on the funded research.

Questions regarding the forthcoming grant cycle may be directed to Dr. Brian Dodge at (812) 856-0792 or bmdodge@indiana.edu .
