Programs and Project Grants

Deadline: November 5, 2009

The Center will award two grants of up to $3000 in support of expenses related to research and other humanities endeavors including, but not limited to, public programs, visiting speakers, and curriculum development. Our intention is to be as flexible as possible in support of excellent and creative programs and projects in the humanities. These awards can be carried over into the next fiscal year, although they are intended to fund endeavors that begin in the current academic year.

In the past, such grants have supported travel for research purposes, the acquisition of special research materials, library collection development, visiting speakers, public programs, the purchase of research equipment, technical assistance, conferences, public programs, and other expenses associated with faculty projects in the humanities. The grants might also provide support for interdisciplinary undertakings such as faculty seminars and colloquia. They can provide seed money for projects, particularly those leading to major proposals to outside funding agencies. They can contribute to ongoing projects such as summer institutes for schoolteachers. In sum, Programs and Projects Grants are intended to be responsive to the needs and goals of the faculty.

All full-time faculty are eligible to apply, so long as the project falls within the humanities. A panel of faculty members will review the proposals. 

To apply, please submit a proposal with the following sections:

Narrative of between two and four single-spaced pages, detailing the project, providing a plan of work, and situating the endeavor in a humanistic context. 

Project budget.

Short vita of no more than two pages.

Please email application to Mary Jo Alibrio, Program Coordinator:  mj.alibrio@unh.edu
