On August 30—the first Friday of the fall semester—the Humanities Institute will once again host a workshop to support faculty members’ applications for external grants and fellowships. The HI’s External Grant Writing Workshop is specifically designed to help faculty improve their applications by learning strategies from an experienced grant writer and evaluator, by exchanging ideas with other grant seekers, and—if they choose to pre-circulate draft application materials—by receiving specific feedback from peers. Please feel free to circulate draft proposals at any stage, from preliminary sketches to finalized applications. (Drafts should be e-mailed to huminst@buffalo.edu by 5pm, Tuesday, August 27th) Participants are also welcome to attend only the presentation portion of the event.

Our 2019 guest speakers are:
Chitra Rajan, Associate Vice President for Research Advancement
Cristanne Miller, SUNY Distinguished Professor and Edward H. Butler Professor of English

After their presentations, lunch will be served.

The HI schedules the workshop at the outset of the semester so that participants will have time afterward to integrate workshop feedback prior to the late September/early Fall deadlines for a number of prestigious grants and fellowships, such as the Guggenheim Fellowship, the ACLS Fellowship, the Stanford Humanities Center Fellowship, the AAUW American Fellowship, and Princeton’s Hodder Fellowship among others. In mid-August, we will request an RSVP from those who plan on attending.

Questions may be directed to HI Executive Director Christina Milletti (milletti@buffalo.edu).
