Access abstracts on dissertations funded by OUP's Doctoral Dissertation Research Grant program through this database. Visitors who would like to see abstracts on all DDRG dissertations can leave each dropdown menu set to "All" and then click the "Search" button.

If you would like to order a copy of a dissertation, please call the University Partnerships Clearinghouse (UPC) at 1-800-245-2691. Before calling UPC, please first check the abstract of the dissertation you are interested in requesting, to locate the dissertation's access number.

If the abstract does not have an access number, this means that we currently do not have a copy of the final dissertation on file. If the dissertation you want is not yet available, please check back frequently; we update the database as we receive final dissertations from our grantees throughout each academic year.
