The UCF/IAMCR Urban Communication Research Grant

Funded by the Urban Communication Foundation, this grant will support 
communication and media research that advances our understanding of the 
growing complexity of the urban environment. It is predicated on the 
assumption that communication scholars have a valuable contribution to 
make to an understanding of the urban landscape. The grant is open to 
all IAMCR members in good standing.

The €1000 grant is designed to support research already in progress or 
in the beginning stages. It gives priority to projects that feature 
innovative, inter-disciplinary, applied, and creative approaches to 
studying the central role of communication in the transformation of 
urban cultures and communities.

A 5-person committee consisting of three IAMCR members and two Urban 
Communication Foundation representatives will judge the proposals.

The grant will be awarded each year at the annual IAMCR Conference, this 
year scheduled for Dublin, Ireland, June 25-29, 2013. Grant winners are 
expected to attend the conference and to report to IAMCR and the UCF on 
the progress of their research at the following year's conference.
Application Procedure

Submit the application electronically to UrbanCommunication [at] iamcr.org.

Applications will be accepted until April 1, 2013.

The complete application must include:

     A letter of application, not exceeding two pages, that describes 
the proposed research or research already in progress, the significance 
of the work to urban communication, and the methodology to be employed.  
A description of any special funding needs is also welcome (e.g. travel, 
research assistants, technical support).

     A current CV

     A sample of applicant's work relevant to the proposed research
