Faculty Research Awards

Faculty Research Awards support individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to scholars and general audiences in the humanities. Recipients usually produce articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, and other scholarly tools. Faculty Research Awards support research in the humanities by faculty members at Historically Black and Tribal Colleges and Universities and Institutions with High Hispanic Enrollment. The awards support the equivalent of six to twelve months of full-time work. Faculty Research Awards may not be used for: curricular or pedagogical methods, theories, or surveys; preparation or revision of textbooks; projects that seek to promote a particular political, philosophical, religious, or ideological point of view; projects that advocate a particular program of social action; or works in the creative and performing arts, e.g., painting, writing fiction or poetry, dance performance, etc.
