Program Fellowship and the Gender Policy Report Graduate Research Partnership
Program. The Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies GRRP aims to create a

studies. The Gender Policy Report GRRP seeks to center their community around
studying gender and policy issues. Applications and proposals must be submitted
to rigs@umn.edu by 5:00 PM on Friday, April

The Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies GRPP program seeks to foster an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural community of faculty and graduate students committed to studying and teaching various subject in ethnic studies. The Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies (CRES) GRPP, like the CLA Graduate Research Partnership Program (GRPP), is intended to support the research of graduate students in CLA who seek to work with faculty mentors. The CRES GRPP focuses on students working with faculty involved in African and African American Studies; American Indian Studies; American Studies; Asian American Studies; Chicano and Latino Studies; Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies; or who are Race, Indigeneity, Gender & Sexuality Studies (RIGS) affiliate faculty. Applications are encouraged that reflect a strong commitment to pubic intellectual work and/or community-engaged work.
The Gender Policy Report (GPR) fosters an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural community of faculty and graduate students committed to studying gender and policy issues. The Gender Policy Report was created to provide empirically-rich policy analysis that is intersectional, meaning a focus on the interactions between gender and other dimensions of inequality, such as class, race, sexuality nationality and gender identity. Working groups led by faculty “curators” track key national policy developments on a dedicated website. Faculty and graduate students write regular research-based (not opinion based) blog analyses from scholars and researchers, post multimedia content (video, podcasts), and contribute to the site’s Twitter feed. Gender Policy Report contributions clarify the gendered bases of policy practices and conflicts. The Gender Policy Report (GPR) GRPP, like the CLA Graduate Research Partnership Program (GRPP), is intended to support the research of CLA graduate students who seek to work with faculty mentors. The GPR GRPP focuses on students working with a GPR faculty curator.
Application and proposal must be submitted to rigs@umn.edu by 5pm on April 20, 2018. See the main GRPP page for eligibility, application instructions, FAQs, and more. RIGS oversees the application process, please contact the program with questions (rigs@umn.edu).
