Collaborative Scholar Program
Created by AEJMC 2019 President Marie Hardin, Penn State University, the AEJMC Collaborative Scholar Research Program awards grants to collaborative research projects involving a graduate student and faculty partnership, with the graduate student serving as the lead researcher, to foster innovative and timely research in journalism and mass communication conducted by graduate students. The AEJMC Collaborative Scholar Program is designed to support graduate student researchers working closely with faculty scholars. These funds may support research assistants, travel to research centers or relevant locations, or pay for supplies, study participants’ compensations, and services associated with the research. Funding will be provided to the graduate student/lead author. [More]
The AEJMC Emerging Scholars Program
The AEJMC Emerging Scholars Program is designed to develop and nurture JMC teachers and researchers by fostering an intellectually stimulating environment. This program’s mission is to identify, encourage and recognize some of AEJMC’s most promising emerging scholars by providing funding for research or teaching projects. If requested, proposals selected for funding will be matched with a recognized scholar to serve as a mentor throughout the project. The mentor would serve as a resource and sounding board for the project. Proposals should outline an individual’s own significant research or teaching project. Proposals may also be submitted by a research team, which would share the award amount if selected. [More]
The AEJMC Senior Scholars Program
The AEJMC Senior Scholar Research Program is designed to support researchers in a wide area of study. These funds may support research assistants, travel to research centers or relevant locations, or pay for supplies and services associated with the research. This program seeks to recognize senior (typically tenured) scholars who aim to engage in extended research projects. For at least one of the two awards, priority will be given to a project that requires travel. Members holding an endowed professorship or an endowed chair are not eligible to apply. Proposals should outline the applicant’s significant research project. Proposals may also be submitted by a team of scholars who would share the award if selected. [More]
