Arts & Humanities Process Grant Proposal
As part of the Arts & Humanities Initiative, competitions will be held in Spring and Fall 2024 to support faculty’s needs for research, scholarship and creative activity.
Spring recipients will be expected to share a 3-minute flash talk of the work supported by the grant at the Spring Showcase event on April 10th, 2024. Fall recipients will share a 3-minute flash talk during an event in Fall 2024. 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. We especially encourage faculty of color, queer, trans, gender non-binary, working-class and other underrepresented individuals to apply.
