Call for Applications now open for 2025 Native Pathways Graduate Research Awards, Deadline is April 30!
The Haury Program is pleased to announce an open call for Native Pathways Graduate Research Awards proposals to support University of Arizona graduate students doing research relevant to Native American and Indigenous resilience in accordance with tribal consultation policies and tribal sovereignty.
“Few things bring the Haury Program more pleasure and pride than fortifying Native Pathways at UArizona. This annual grant process again has elevated Indigenous voices, supported amazing research and outreach, and advanced our core mission of promoting Indigenous resilience,” shared Haury Program Director, Prof. Toni Massaro. Nancy Petersen, Assistant Director, added: “The Haury Program is dedicated to honoring the University of Arizona’s commitment as a land-grant institution to the Native American students and tribal nations. These awards put commitment into action.”
This year, priority will be given to applications that support graduate students whose work addresses the water, energy and food access and challenges, and/or adverse consequences of drought and other extreme weather events faced by Native American and Indigenous communities, especially those within Arizona.
If funds availability allows, the Haury Program will also consider applications by students who have experience or are interested in strengthening their skills related to specific tribal or Native Nation’s Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), values, data sovereignty, or other ways of approaching resilience challenges of Native American and Indigenous communities.
The deadline to submit proposals is April 30th. Award notification will be provided late May. Funds are available for up to $20,000 per applicant.
Only University of Arizona students are eligible for these funds, and please note that this is a one-time award.
