Call for proposals: President’s Fund for the Humanities Grants

The System Office of Academic Affairs is pleased to solicit proposals for the fall 2013 President’s Fund for the Humanities grants.

The President’s Fund for the Humanities (PFH) was established to preserve a balance in the university’s programs of education and research by giving special attention to the humanities. Proposals might include: seminars in humanistic studies; public programs in the humanities; innovative teaching in the humanities; or requests for lectures or exhibits by visiting scholars. The fund might also support projects that involve interdisciplinary teaching, increase the visibility of the humanities, emphasize humanistic values or address special social problems in a humanistic context.

Projects selected for funding are restricted to a maximum PFH award of $3,000.

Proposals must be received by 5 p.m. Nov. 1.

Please submit your proposal as one electronic file to AcademicAffairs@cu.edu

An advisory board composed of faculty representatives from each campus will consider the proposals and make recommendations to President Benson for funding. Find proposal requirements, guidelines and additional information.

Additional inquiries may be directed to Thomas Spahr, Academic Planning, Programs and Policy Analyst, at 303-860-5623 or Thomas.Spahr@cu.edu.
