> Gender Studies Small Grant Program (GSGP) 1999
> Call for CEE/fSU Applications
>
> Grants of up to 2,000 USD are available to NGOs and academic departments

> studies and gender studies within the region. The program is sponsored by the
> Program on Gender and Culture at the Central European University, the

> Introduction
>
> The GSGP has been established jointly by the Open Society Institute (OSI), the CEU Program on
> Gender and Culture, and the OSI Network Women's Program to support gender initiatives in the
> countries of Central and Eastern Europe, and of the former Soviet Union. The program is based
> on the belief that small grants can often provide a vital and critical support for new and
> innovative programs. The selection committee is open to a wide variety of funding requests, but
> particularly encourages groups which are just getting started and need seed money to establish
> basic infrastructures, or to raise more substantial funds elsewhere. Priority will be given to
> projects that are innovative, will result in increased opportunities for others (e.g. greater
> access to materials and resources, or to participate in gender related activities) and will
> have a lasting impact.
> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> Available Grants
> In 1999, institutes, centers, programs and academic departments actively involved in teaching,
> research or policy activities directly involving gender or women's studies are welcome to apply
> for one of two types of grants of up to $2,000.
>
> A. Gender Studies Development Project
> Requests may include, but are not limited to: support for conferences, seminars, workshops, and
> curriculum development that will increase awareness of gender studies in the applicant's home
> country. The funding may also be used for equipment like photocopy machines, fax machines,
> modems and computer upgrades when documentation is provided that capital investment will make a
> substantial contribution to increasing access to gender studies resources. Proposals for
> services (e.g. publication of single issues of journals) or staff (e.g. librarian, software
> developer, or project coordinator) will be also be considered, particularly when these services
> will make an essential contribution to securing long term institutional or financial support
> for the applicant. Proposals for services should take particular care in documenting this
> aspect of the proposal. All proposals shoud include a clear statement of the purpose of the
> event, capital purchase or service; how completion of the project will promote the development
> of gender studies and an assessment of the proposed project's impact on the local community.
>
> B. Library Collections Project
> Proposals may be submitted to build core collections of academic resources through the purchase
> of books, journals, educational videos and CD ROMs related to gender and women's studies. There
> is no prescribed list of resources as the GSGP feels that collections should be proposed on the
> basis of the specific needs of the applicant. The Proposal should, ideally, contain a detailed
> bibliography of the materials to be acquired including the title and cost of each iten, where
> and by whom materials will be purchased, and anticipated shipping costs. If a complete list is
> not feasible, subject areas to be covered, preferred authors, and the method of selection and
> purchase of the collection should be discussed in detail. All proposals should include a
> narrative description of the current library resources of the applicant, where the proposed
> collection will be stored, who will use the collection and how it will be made available to the
> public.
>
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> proposal.

> completion of the grant, on the success of their project in the form of a two page description
> of how the grant was utilised, a budget report, and in the case of publications -- a copy of
> the publication. Grant recipients who wish to extend their grant, must file with the GSGP
> thirty days before the end of their grant period. The grant reports are an essential element
