Competitions will be held in Spring and Fall to support faculty’s needs for research, scholarship and creative activity.
Fall 2026 Deadline is October 1st.
The grants are intended to support smaller items needed such as: materials, printing, tools, software, permissions, services (transcription or translation), event support, marketing, participant stipends, etc. Travel is not an eligible expense. Grants are open to all faculty engaged in work based in the Arts & Humanities, regardless of track, campus, or unit.
The proposal must include:
- A description of the project (500 words or fewer).
- Background
- Significance
- Context (e.g., Is the proposed work part of a larger ongoing project; Is the proposed work multidisciplinary; etc.)
- Budget
- Individuals may apply for $500–$2,500, depending on need. Projects in their initial phases are highly encouraged but we welcome projects in any phase. A total of $5,000 will be awarded in each round of funding.
- Budget Justification
- Brief narrative outlining on how the funds will be spent.
Award Terms and Conditions
- The awards are for a 12-month period. If needed, a one-time only, no-cost time extension request is considered with a strong justification.
- If the PI leaves the university prior to the completion of the grant, the remaining funds are to be returned to the Office of Research.
- Any remaining funds after the grant’s termination date are to be returned.
