The Center for Human Rights and Humanitarian Studies funds annual pilot research studies through our seed grant program. This program is designed to stimulate original, innovation-driven research addressing human rights and humanitarian topics. Support may be given to groups launching a new research project or towards evolving the scale of an existing project. To read about our previously funded projects, visit: CHRHS Research Seed Grants.
The CHRHS Training Seed Grant Program is designed to stimulate the development of human rights and humanitarian training initiatives. Awarded training grants help fund the planning and implementation of new curriculum, workshops, seminars, simulation-based learning, or conferences either within existing institutions or as a kick-starter for independent initiatives.

The CHRHS Graduate Student Internship Program is now accepting applications for the upcoming cycle. We invite graduate students passionate about human rights and humanitarian work to apply for these hands-on internships, where they will gain practical experience while making a tangible impact in the field.
CHRHS strives to fuse education and research to on-the-ground action by connecting students with experts through internships at top humanitarian and human rights organizations. Each year, qualified students are invited to apply for internships with one of our pre-identified partner organizations. Selected candidates will be given a fellowship award to help cover associated living expenses during the internship. These curated internships are carefully crafted with our partners so as to provide Brown students with valuable hands-on experience and working knowledge of humanitarian and human rights issues and best practices.
