GRANTS: CONGRESSIONAL RESEARCH AWARDS

DEADLINE: All proposals must be received no later than February 1, 2010.

The Dirksen Congressional Center invites applications for grants to fund research 
on congressional leadership and the U.S. Congress. A total of up to $35,000 will be 
available in 2010. Awards range from a few hundred dollars to $3,500. 

The competition is open to individuals with a serious interest in studying 
Congress. Political scientists, historians, biographers, scholars of public 
administration or American studies, and journalists are among those eligible. The 
Center encourages graduate students who have successfully defended their 
dissertation prospectus to apply and awards a significant portion of the funds for 
dissertation research. Applicants must be U.S. citizens who reside in the United 
States.

The awards program does not fund undergraduate or pre-Ph.D. study. Organizations 
are not eligible. Research teams of two or more individuals are eligible. No 
institutional overhead or indirect costs may be claimed against a Congressional 
Research Award. 

There is no standard application form. Applicants are responsible for showing the 
relationship between their work and the awards program guidelines. Applications are 
accepted at any time. Applications which exceed the page limit and incomplete 
applications will NOT be forwarded to the screening committee for consideration. 

All application materials must be received on or before February 1, 2010. Awards 
will be announced in March 2010. 

Complete information about eligibility and application procedures may be found at 
The Center's Web site: http://www.dirksencenter.org/print_grants_CRAs.htm. PLEASE 
READ THOROUGHLY. Frank Mackaman is the program officer -

The Center, named for the late Senate Minority Leader Everett M. Dirksen, is a 
private, nonpartisan, nonprofit research and educational organization devoted to 
the study of Congress and its leaders. Since 1978, the Congressional Research 
Awards (formerly the Congressional Research Grants) program has paid out $776,188 
to support 378 projects.
