UALE is pleased to continue awarding grants to fund research related to workers, unions, and employment policy. Preference will be given to UALE members in determining award recipients. UALE has allocated $5,000 for this purpose. We will select a maximum of two award recipients.
A subcommittee comprised of three UALE executive board members (one union, one university, one community-based) will review applications and make a recommendation to the entire UALE board, which will have final approval.
Applications for the 2013 awards are due by December 2, 2013. The recipients will be announced by December 15, 2013. The total number of awards for 2013 will be determined by the UALE executive board.
UALE requests that successful applicants present the results of their research at a UALE conference.
