About this Fellowship
The LSDG supports social science research for doctoral candidates whose dissertations study issues related to law, legal systems, and uses of science and technology.
The Law & Science Dissertation Grant Program considers proposals that address social scientific studies of law and law-like systems of rules, as well as studies of how science and technology are applied in legal contexts. The Program is inherently interdisciplinary and multi-methodological. Successful proposals describe research that advances scientific theory and understanding of the connections between human behavior and law, legal institutions, or legal processes; or the interactions of law and basic sciences, including biology, computer and information sciences, STEM education, engineering, geosciences, and math and physical sciences.
Applicants must be doctoral candidates prior to the start of the grant. Open to international students. There are two application cycles each year, with deadlines on November 15 and May 15.
Award Value
Provides up to $20,000 for dissertation research related expenses.
