Call for submissions: President’s Fund for the Humanities Grants, Chase Faculty Community Service Award
The CU system Office of Academic Affairs is soliciting submissions for its annual awards and grants.
President’s Fund for the Humanities Grant
The President’s Fund for the Humanities (PFH) Grant was established to promote the research and scholarly activities of faculty in the arts and humanities at CU. The fund aims to preserve balance in the university’s education and research programs, and to support dynamic and innovative research and creativity in the arts and humanities. Successful proposals for the PFH program describe a well-developed scholarly or creative project rooted in the arts and humanities with clear and feasible outcomes. The award is up to $15,000 for one year. This may include one course buyout and funding to be used towards a faculty member's scholarly and creative work.
Eligibility: Proposals must be authored by full-time CU tenured faculty, tenure-track faculty, or full-time CU instructional and clinical teaching faculty with 20% or greater differential workload for scholarly work. There are no disciplinary restrictions on applicants so long as the work fits solidly within an artistic/humanistic framework. Proposals will not be considered if submitted by faculty who have not completed their final report from a previous PFH award.
Deadline: Apply by Oct. 26. Learn more here.
