The Timothy C. S. Franks Research Travel Fund provides financial support for doctoral candidates in the Departments of History and Political Studies pursuing dissertation research abroad. Doctoral candidates in the two departments may apply for funding to help cover travel and subsistence costs for field research outside North America. Grants will be made on a competitive basis annually or more frequently at the discretion of the awards committee. Applicants should provide an outline of their dissertation research, a description of the work to be undertaken abroad, and an estimate of the costs. Applications will be adjudicated by the Heads of History and Political Studies or their delegates, who may make one or more awards as they see fit.
