Funding Opportunities

External Funding

This site is meant to assist students in the UNC Sociology department in finding external funding opportunities.  Also, this site is used to centralize and organize information that is helpful in navigating the grant writing process.  Opportunities, tips, and helpful websites are updated regularly.

Funding from The Graduate School

The Graduate School offers a number of funding opportunities for UNC Sociology students. This site lists available fellowships, assistantships, awards, and upcoming deadlines. These opportunities require department nomination and must be submitted to the department 2 weeks before the Graduate School deadline.

Grant Source Library

The Grant Source Library is a resource for UNC-Chapel Hill faculty, staff, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate students seeking information on funding sources for independent research, collaborative projects, fellowships, program development, and other scholarly activities. We provide assistance and instruction on the best use of our resources. The library is part of the Office of Information and Communications.

UNC Research

UNC Research offers research assistance to graduate students, including help in identifying funding opportunities, proposal development, award management, research oversight & compliance, publicizing research success, community economic development, technology development and transfer, building relationships with government, and building relationships with private industry.

*Though the Sociology Department uses the name Pauli Murray Hall for our building, on official maps you will find it as Hamilton Hall. In July 2020, all of the departments housed in the building agreed to adopt the name Pauli Murray Hall because of Professor Hamilton’s role in shaping history for the benefit of white supremacy and Murray’s legacy of advocacy for the rights of all members of society. An official request with the Chancellor is pending. For more information, please see here.
