Event Date
The UC Davis Humanities Institute is offering funding for graduate students and faculty in the humanities, arts, and humanistic social sciences who are interested in forming groups for reading, writing, and research collaborations. Groups may apply for up to $500 per group for research support.
The funds may be used to defray the costs of materials or refreshments associated with workshops or regular group meetings. DHI funds for the groups will be sent to organizers’ departments or programs.
The program is open to all faculty and graduate students, but graduate students are particularly encouraged to apply.
Proposals Include (in a single PDF):
1. Project Description and Participants
- A brief narrative (500 words maximum) describing the purpose of the group and its proposed activities and outcomes.
- Please also include a list of graduate students and/or faculty participants and their respective departments.
2. Simple Budget: Breakdown of Anticipated Expenses
Submission:
To submit your proposal online, please go to https://voorhies.ucdavis.edu/dhi/funding/ and complete the online application form by Friday, December 4, 2020 at 5:00pm.
The DHI will attempt to fund all the groups, but please note that funding for this program is limited. If selective funding becomes necessary, the following may be factored into selection:
- New groups: the group has not recently received funding from the DHI.
- Graduate students are especially encouraged to apply, and Junior faculty after them.
- Interdisciplinarity: the group consists of graduate students and/or faculty from a number of programs and departments, including groups addressing topics and/or perspectives that have been traditionally under-represented and/or under-served.
- Number of members: group is inclusive, that is, aims to incorporate more participants.
