Funding Opportunities

Funding Support for Faculty Research

In an effort to enhance the intellectual climate of the university and to promote excellence and innovation in humanities scholarship, the Institute for Humanities Research encourages faculty from humanities disciplines, often in partnership with faculty from other fields, to take advantage of funded research opportunities.

Through the institute’s programs, scholars exploring the human dimensions of social, cultural, technological, and scientific issues gain an appreciation of the humanities.

By facilitating collaboration among scholars in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, the institute’s funding programs expose faculty in many fields to what humanities research is, how it operates, and why it is important.  At the same time, these funding initiatives often attract additional external research dollars.
