The Graduate Studies Office administers a DCU Postgraduate Research Conference and Travel Grant. Each postgraduate research student, full-time or part-time, can apply in the period of his or her studentship for a Conference and Travel Grant from the DCU Research Committee. The scheme is administered through the Graduate Studies Office (GSO), based in GLA.LG13 in the McNulty Building, Glasnevin Campus. Further information is available at the Graduate Studies Office scholarships page.
The Faculty Research Committee allocates some funds to administer a competitive Journal Publication Scheme, a call for which is issued normally at the end of October or beginning of November. The scheme is available to research students in their 3rd or later year in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, DCU. The scheme provides support for research leading to publication in a SCOPUS-ranked journal. The article can be sole-authored by the student or co-authored with a member of DCU staff, most typically but not exclusively a student’s supervisor. Items supported could include fieldwork; archive / research travel; conference dissemination; data generation. Depending on the budget allocation and number of applicants the maximum value of any single award can change but generally it will be no more than €1,000.
