Pushing the Growth of Externally Funded Research
Fine Arts, Humanities, & Social Sciences Support Program Funds 16 Projects
The Division of Research & Innovation recently called for submissions to the 2023-2024 Fine Arts, Humanities, & Social Sciences Support Program to encourage the growth of externally funded research through the production of scholarly and creative works. The program provided funding for professional indexing grants, image reproduction funds, subvention grants, and field work & archival research grants up to $2500.
Professional indexing grants support the creation of comprehensive indexes for scholarly works, and image reproduction funds provide financial assistance for the reproduction of visual materials, facilitating their inclusion in publications or presentations. Subvention grants offer financial support to offset publication costs, and field work & archival research grants provide funding to support researchers in conducting on-site investigations and accessing archival materials.
