The Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics is accepting submissions for the 2024 Carrie Chapman Catt Prize for Research on Women and Politics through Nov. 17.
This annual competition is designed to encourage and reward scholars embarking on significant research in gender and politics. Since the first prize was awarded in 1995, a total of $166,000 has been awarded to 144 research projects.
Research projects submitted for prize consideration may address any topic related to gender and politics. This includes proposals in the areas of civic education and engagement and in the scholarship of teaching and learning. Scholars at any level may apply, from graduate students to tenured faculty members as well as adjunct faculty and independent researchers.
The prize includes a $2,500 cash award for each project selected. Honorable mention prizes of up to $1,200 per project may also be awarded.
