It is our pleasure to announce that we have three grants available from El
Centro Exchange Programs:
 
1) Caribbean Research Grant:  CUNY faculty and students and members of
higher education and/or research institutions in the Caribbean may submit a
proposal outlining a research topic related to the Dominican Republic, Cuba
and other Caribbean nations which will be evaluated on a continual basis
pending available funds.  The grant amounts range from $1000 to $4000 and
will take the form of reimbursement for research-related expenses for CUNY
faculty and stipends for doctoral/graduate students and applicants from the
Caribbean.
 
2) Visiting Scholars Grant:  The CUNY-Caribbean Exchange program is holding
a competition in which grants will be awarded to two post-doctorates
($5000), two graduate/doctoral students ($5000), and two New York City High
School and/or Middle School Teachers ($2500).  Washington Mutual is
sponsoring the grants for middle and high school teachers.  Prospective
awardees are to submit a proposal by January 15, 2005, outlining a topic on
the Puerto Rican Diaspora in the United States.  Post-doctorates and
graduate student proposals are to outline a Research Project.  High School
and Middle School Teacher proposals should outline the development of
curricular units and/or lesson plans incorporating Puerto Rican/Latino
history in New York City.  
 
3) Puerto Rican Studies Research Grant:  CUNY-Caribbean is awarding four
grants (two for graduate students and two for post-doctoral applicants) from
$1000- $5000 each for projects exploring issues pertaining to Puerto Rico
and the Puerto Rican Diaspora in the US.  Research for this grant can be
done in Puerto Rico or anywhere in the United States.  Although preference
will be given to CUNY faculty and graduate students, the grants are open to
those outside of CUNY as well.  
 
Applications for these grants are attached to this email. 
 
Good Luck!
