The Humanities Institute Mid-Career Research Grant

The Humanities Institute is announcing the call for applications for the Mid-Career Research Grant. This competitive grant offers one course release to an associate professor in the humanities, aimed at supporting those working toward promotion. One grant will be awarded each academic year. The deadline to apply for the Mid-Career Research Grant is Monday, February 10th.

Faculty eligible to apply for this grant should be at the rank of associate professor at the time of application. While priority will be given to humanities faculty and projects, all faculty with a research project in a humanities area are encouraged to apply for the course-release grant, including those whose project has a substantive humanities component but who do not teach in a humanities department. Projects with an evident path to completion are most competitive, but they may currently be at any stage of the process. Preference is given to faculty not participating in the Humanities Institute Seminar during the same award year as this Mid-Career Research Grant.

The application deadline of February 10, 2025 will be awarded for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Guidelines to apply for the Mid-Career Grant application process can be found here: Mid-Career Research Grant.
