Collaborative Research Grants support interpretive humanities research undertaken by two or more collaborating scholars, for full-time or part-time activities for periods of one to three years. Support is available for various combinations of scholars, consultants, and research assistants; project-related travel and archival research; field work; and technical support and services. All grantees are expected to disseminate the results of their work to the appropriate scholarly and public audiences.
Eligible projects include
- research that significantly adds to knowledge and understanding of the humanities;
- conferences on topics of major importance in the humanities that will benefit scholarly research; and
- archaeological projects that emphasize interpretation, data reuse, and dissemination of results.
Information about Preliminary Draft Proposals
Prospective applicants may submit a draft of their proposal for staff review (submission of draft proposals is optional) no later than October 15.
Award information
Awards are made for one to three years and rarely exceed $100,000 per year. Awards for conferences do not exceed $65,000 per grant. Indirect costs (if any) are included in the awarded amount. Successful applicants will be awarded a grant in outright funds, matching funds, or a combination of the two, depending on the applicant’s preference and the availability of funds. Federal matching funds are released on a one-to-one basis when a grantee secures gift funds from eligible third parties. (Note that agencies of the federal government are not eligible third parties.)
Eligibility
The Collaborative Research program accepts applications from both institutions and individuals without an institutional affiliation (who may apply as unaffiliated project directors). Note that all projects must include at least one collaborator in addition to the project director.
