The Sylff Association Secretariat is pleased to announce the awardees of two support programs— Sylff Research Grant (SRG) and Sylff Leadership Initiatives (SLI) —for fiscal 2025. A total of 44 research and social action projects were selected for support under these programs.
Both SRG and SLI underwent minor enhancements in fiscal 2025. SRG covered expenses for domestic and international fieldwork, with the maximum award for the latter doubling to $10,000. For SLI, in addition to aligning its application schedule with SRG, we introduced a peer-review panel of former recipients, inviting them to share their insights during the screening process to ensure greater fairness and credibility.
The selection process was highly competitive, with more than 80 applications received from across the Sylff network. We are deeply grateful for the enthusiastic and thoughtful response to the call for applications, which highlighted the diversity, creativity, and strong commitment of Sylff fellows to research excellence and social engagement.
We extend our warmest congratulations to all awardees and look forward to the meaningful outcomes of their projects in the months ahead.
