Global Service Institute Offers Research Grants on Civic Service

Dear SL colleagues,

The Global Service Institute at Washington University in St. Louis
announces the beginning of a Small Research Grants Program on civic
service.

For the purposes of this grants program, civic service is defined as "an
organized period of substantial engagement and contribution to the local,
national, or world community, recognized and valued by society, with
minimal monetary compensation to the participant." Civic service is
different from occasional volunteering. It refers to organized programs of
service, where there is a formal role for the server. The service may be
voluntary or compulsory. Service programs can be local, national,
international, or transnational in scope. They may be targeted toward
servers that are younger, older, of faith, and in school.

GSI will award up to eight (8) research grants with budget amounts ranging
from $US10,000 to $US30,000 for up to 2 years. Dissertation research
proposals with budgets up to US$15,000 will also be considered.

Inquiry letter submissions are due Jan 2 - Feb 15, 2004
