Summary
Through the generous support of the Coca-Cola Foundation, 
the Critical Difference for Women Program at the Ohio State University will award up to 3 faculty research grants and up to 10 graduate student research grants this year. The grants competition is administered by the Department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies and the Coca-Cola Critical Difference for Women Research Grants Committee, made up of 9 faculty members from at least 5 Colleges. The number of grants depends on availability of funds and are active for a 12-month period.
These grants are designed to support research by OSU faculty and graduate students who explore women's lives, gender equity, or gender broadly conceptualized. We are particularly interested in proposals that will contribute to:
a) knowledge about women or gender in a broad range of disciplines;
b) policies and practical applications that support improved quality of life for women;
c) theoretical innovations; or
d) performance and artistic productions about women or gender.
Proposals are encouraged from all departments, colleges, and professional schools. Priority may be given to gender research that includes a focus on diversity or on issues and groups that remain understudied.
