Regional Small Grants Program
The Regional Small Grants Program supports the research endeavors of academic scholars who are not members of the UK faculty. Up to three grants are awarded competitively each year for research on poverty-related topics of regional importance. Preference is given to research that sheds light on the problems of poverty and inequality in the South. The funds may be used at the investigator’s discretion, but suggested uses include graduate student research support, academic-year course relief, or summer salary support.
