2022-23 DHI Working Groups: Calls for Proposals

  • by Davis Humanities Institute

The UC Davis Humanities Institute is offering Working Group (formerly Reading and Writing Groups) funding for graduate students 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 to support their activities.

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. 

This year the program is open to graduate students only. However, you may include faculty in their activities. 

Proposals. In a single PDF, please include the following information in your proposal:

1. Project description:

  • A brief narrative (500 words maximum) describing the purpose of the group and its proposed activities and outcomes.
  • Please also include a list of participants and their respective departments or affiliations. 

2. Budget

  • Please provide a line-by-line breakdown of anticipated expenses
  • A budget narrative is optional

Requirement

 

A one to two paragraph report on the Working Group’s year-long activities is due to the DHI by Friday, May 26, 2023. If a report is not submitted by that time, you will not be eligible for future funding from the DHI.

Submission

 

To submit your proposal online, please go to https://voorhies.ucdavis.edu/dhi/funding/ and complete the online application form by Wednesday, October 24, 5pm.

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:

  • The Working Group has not recently received funding from the DHI
  • The Working Group consists of graduate students (and faculty as the case may be) from a number of programs and departments, with the aims of interdisciplinary work
  • The Working Group addresses topics and/or perspectives that have been traditionally under-represented and/or under-served.
