Applications are still being received for the 2018 IAMCR Urban
Communication Research Grant. The grant is worth USD 1,750 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 (http://iamcr.org) and funded by the Urban Communication
Foundation (https://urbancomm.org/), 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 USD 1,750 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 7-person committee consisting of five IAMCR members and two Urban
Communication Foundation representatives will judge the proposals. IAMCR
representatives in the committee are Nico Carpentier (Chair), Aimée
Vega, Cees Hamelink, 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 Eugene, Oregon, USA from June 20-24, 2018. 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.
