Kamehameha Schools is putting out a kāhea for applicants to participate in a first-of-its-kind research grant opportunity. But you’ll need to act quickly as there is a deadline fast approaching.
The Māhuahua Ka Lae Research Awards are meant to help meet the need for scholarship and research that better aligns with the Native Hawaiian worldview in both form and function. Three research pathways are available for applicants to pursue: Dissertation Research, Traditional Master-Apprentice Studies, and Community Applied Research. KS expects to make no more than eight awards of up to $50,000 each.
KS believes that increasing the prevalence and influence of Native Hawaiian perspectives, knowledge, practices, and approaches through overlapping traditional and western academic research provides crucial pathways for improving the well-being of our lāhui, Hawaiʻi, and honua.
To learn more about these grant opportunities you are invited to check out an optional, virtual orientation session on Friday, March 3, 2023, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. via Zoom. Applications and letters of interest are due by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, March 21, 2023. For more information, go to www.kaiaulu.ksbe.edu/MKL-research-award or e-mail kaiaulu@ksbe.edu.
