The Center for Portuguese Studies supports cooperation between UC Berkeley and Portugal by providing funding for UC Berkeley doctoral students who intend to do research in Portugal under the supervision of a Portugal-based faculty member. Applicants are required to submit a two-page application letter describing the topic of their research and the duration of their intended stay, a two-page CV, a recommendation letter from a Berkeley faculty member, as well as an invitation letter by the supervising faculty member in Portugal, confirming the duration of the intended research stay. Upon approval by the CSP Faculty Director, the Center for Portuguese Studies Executive Director will provide a Direct Bill-ID to the Berkeley graduate student to cover the costs of an economy flight to Portugal and a lump sum of $150/day to cover the costs of the stay in Portugal. The maximum amount of funding per student, including flight costs, is $3,000. As a condition of recieiving funding students are required to submit a report to csp@berkeley.edu within one month after their trip is completed.
