Apply today to receive funding to conduct research on legal, graduate, or professional education with the AccessLex Institute/AIR Research and Dissertation Fellows Program.

The AccessLex Institute/AIR Research and Dissertation Fellows Program promotes scholarship on issues related to access, affordability, and value of legal education specifically, and graduate and professional education more broadly. Preference is given to proposals that utilize regional, national, or multi-institutional datasets, although research that focuses on a single institution is acceptable. Preference is also given to proposals that specifically address legal education; however, proposals that study access, affordability and value of graduate and professional education more generally are also encouraged. Researchers may analyze pre-existing data or include the construction of a new dataset in their proposal.

Two grant levels are available to support year-long research projects:

• $50,000 Research Grants
• $25,000 Doctoral Grants

The application deadline is November 30, 2017.

More information about the program is available on AIR’s website.

For questions and assistance, contact AIR staff at grants@airweb.org.
