The Latin American & Iberian Institute is now accepting 
applications for its Fall 2009 Student Field Research 
Grants.  All graduate students who are interested in 
conducting fieldwork in Latin America or Iberia are
encouraged to apply.

APPLICATIONS ARE DUE MONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2009 BY 5:00PM.
Please note this is a change from previous years when 
applications were due after fall break.

Field Research Grants (FRGs) are intended to support 
graduate research projects requiring a limited time in the 
field, often four to eight weeks. Typically awards are 
made for round-trip airfare to the country where the
research will be conducted.

First time applicants are invited to attend an 
INFORMATIONAL HELP SESSION scheduled for Monday, September 
14, 2009 at 1:00pm in the LAII main office (801 Yale Blvd 
NE)

Application requirements and forms may be found online at 
the LAII website:
http://laii.unm.edu/funding/research-funding/.  The 
application is also here attached, along with an 
announcement flier.

Should students or faculty have any questions regarding 
FRGs, they may contact me via this email 
(committees@laii.unm.edu) or by phone at (505)277-7049.
