Research grants have been awarded to 33 PhD students from the CUNY Graduate Center. Futures Initiative Graduate Fellows reviewed proposals and selected candidates from 84 applications across many fields. We wish we could have funded a lot more of the excellent research projects being undertaken by GC students. Recipients will present their research in a Digital Poster Showcase next semester.
