Research Workshop Funding
HI Research Workshop funding is designed to support existing interdisciplinary reading groups in the humanities and to encourage the formation of new groups. Research Workshops may include any number of faculty and/or graduate students, focusing on any topic, but they must be interdisciplinary. Workshops based exclusively in a single department will not be funded. Funding levels vary, but the maximum award is $2,500 per year. In the interest of long-term planning, established groups may apply for more than one year’s funding.
Beginning in 2020-21, HI Research Workshops will be sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development.
