Applications are now being received for the 2017 IAMCR Urban
Communication Research Grant. The grant is worth €1,500 and supports
communication and media research that advances understanding of the
growing complexity of the urban environment.
Hosted by the International Association for Media and Communication
Research and funded by the Urban Communication Foundation, this grant
supports 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 €1500 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 6-person committee consisting of four IAMCR members and two Urban
Communication Foundation representatives will judge the proposals. IAMCR
representatives in the committee are Nico Carpentier (Chair), Aimée
Vega, Janet Wasko and Olesya Venger. Urban Communication Foundation
representatives are Gary Gumpert and Susan Drucker.
The grant is awarded each year at the annual IAMCR Conference, this year
scheduled for Catagena, Colombia on July 16-20, 2017. Grant winners are
expected to attend the conference and present a paper related to urban
communication. They must also report to IAMCR and the UCF on the
progress of their research at the following year's conference, and
submit a paper for this conference.
Application Procedure
Submit the application electronically to UrbanCommunication2017 [at]
iamcr.org.
Applications will be accepted until April 17, 2017.
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
NOTE: Your email application must have "Urban Communication" in the
subject line
The grant winner will be announced by May 15, 2017.
