Humanities Facilitating Fund (HFF)

The Humanities Facilitating Fund (HFF) supports the generation of original scholarship by faculty in the humanities at GW. Regular-status faculty in humanities disciplines as defined by the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, and faculty from the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design are eligible to apply.

 

GW University Seminars Funding Program (Academic Year 2021-2022)

The University Seminars Funding Program was established to foster sustained discussion of issues that cross traditional disciplinary boundaries among members of the GW faculty, possibly including their distinguished counterparts in universities, research centers, federal agencies, international organizations and private industry throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The goal is to connect the traditional research and scholarly endeavors of the academy across disciplines, thereby ensuring an exchange of perspectives and information. Regular active-status faculty are eligible to apply.

ADDITIONAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITY

Published on Leave a comment on Research Update: CCAS Internal Funding & COVID-19

CCAS Intramural Funding

Due to the ongoing uncertainty of the full impact of COVID-19, and the many other facets of the work of the college which are currently affected by it, we have taken the decision to temporarily hold all final decisions and announcements of Intramural funding awards. We will announce Dean's Research Chairs, CCFF awards, and Enhanced Travel awards and as soon as we reasonably can, but this is not likely to occur for quite some time. We apologize for the inconvenience, but are working to do all we can to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the college, and ask for your patience in these rapidly changing times.

If, in the light of the current travel restrictions and the delay to the review and award process, you would like to withdraw your Enhanced Travel proposal, in order to preserve your ability to apply in Fall 2020, you can do so via the electronic form here.

Update: Humanities Facilitating Fund

OVPR has updated the Humanities Facilitating Fund call for proposals; all regular-status faculty are eligible to apply.

Deadline: Thursday, April 2, 2020, 12:00pm EDT

Funded projects impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak may be able to receive extensions from OVPR on a case-by-case basis by submitting a request here.

Contact the OVPR Humanities Advisory Committee Co-Chairs with questions:
