Awards from this program promote the development of projects and collaborations that advance the missions of the national laboratories and UC. The Request for Proposals is scheduled for release in March

Fellowships for UC postdoctoral scholars support training and research at a Mexican institution of higher education and/or research in the natural, physical or social sciences, humanities, engineering, or computer science. (Mar. 6)
 
Projects funded are expected to lead to development of major, long-term collaborations in the natural sciences, physical sciences, engineering, computer sciences, social sciences, or humanities; strengthening of academic and research capabilities of the participating UC and Mexican institutions, especially in Mexican regional universities and institutions outside of the traditional Mexican research centers. (Mar. 6)

The Center for the Study of Women offers grants to all UCLA faculty for research development, new project development that may lead to external funding opportunities through CSW, and project completion that could be considered for CSW publications (policy briefs, research reports). Preference will be given to junior faculty and projects that link to CSW's current research projects (for example, Feminism and the Senses, Chemical Entanglements, Food | Water | Shelter). (May 8)
