Announcements and Opportunities
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) kindly requests your help.
GLAAD is presently in a pro-bono consulting engagement with Bain & Company to determine how GLAAD can serve the LGBT community more effectively.
We would like to find out what the LGBT community thinks about the current state of the LGBT rights movement and the most effective ways to reach equality. We need your help disseminating the survey link below. We ask that you pass this e-mail on to members of LGBT organizations that you are a part of as well as to LGBT friends and colleagues. We also ask that you take the survey yourself; the survey takes about ten minutes to complete.

With your help, GLAAD will be able to better serve the needs of the LGBT community. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to e-mail christopher.lapinig@bridgespan.org. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Grants Available for Research in LGBT Studies
Spring FLAGS Grant Applications Due March 28th
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies announces its spring semester FLAGS awards (Fund for Lesbian and Gay Studies), available to Yale graduate and professional students and faculty. Deadline is March 28, 2008.
New this semester: We now provide funding for course development in LGBT Studies as well as for research and publication
Grants are made in support of projected research or publication and for new course development. Purposes for which funding may be sought include (but are not limited to): travel to inspect primary source materials or to conduct interviews; acquisition of inaccessible books, microfilms, or other materials (with the understanding that such materials will ultimately be offered to Sterling or another library within the University); assistance in research and manuscript preparation; publication subvention; and projects in basic sciences, medicine, nursing, and public health. Funds are not granted to provide reimbursement for expenses already incurred. Applicants who seek additional funding for a previously supported project are expected to state how the money already received has been used and to justify the continuation of support. Recipients are responsible for knowing all University policies and procedures related to the conduct of research as they apply to their proposed project (see in particular Chapters 1 and 10 of the Principal Investigator's Handbook at http://www.yale.edu/provost/pih/index.html ).
Individual awards will be available for a minimum of $500 to a maximum of $5,000. Award monies are available for one year after the grant has been awarded. After one year, an extension for the grant must be filed. Sorry, undergraduates are not eligible. Original receipts are necessary for reimbursement; no meals are covered.
