The Duberman-Zal Fellowship is awarded to a graduate student, an independent scholar, or an adjunct from any country doing scholarly research on the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ) experience. University affiliation is not necessary. The award is adjudicated by the CLAGS fellowships committee. The winner of the fellowship may be asked to participate in CLAGS's programming the following academic year to present their research project. Applicants must submit a cover letter with their contact information (address, phone number, and e-mail), the title of their project, the names of their recommenders, and the fellowship they are applying for. They are also required to submit two letters of recommendation. Please visit the award's website or contact CLAGS for more information.
