Grants
Proposals are invited for existing research projects. The Foundation generally only accepts applications for research project grants from postdoctoral scholars at universities, other research institutes or comparable institutions. The applicants must be actively involved in the research work of the project.
The grants for research projects involve, depending on the type of project, research and PhD fellowships for project participants, travel and material expenses as well as academic conferences and workshops. The costs incurred by visiting (foreign) scholars can also be financed as part of a research project.
The payment of fellowships is based on Gerda Henkel Foundation’s usual rates. The maximum amount of funding is € 100.000 per project application. Applications for limited travel and material grants only will not be accepted.
Requires submission through, and approval by, University Research Administration; must notify Grants team of intent to apply by mid-February at the latest--ideally earlier.
These NEH grants support national or regional (multistate) training programs for scholars and advanced graduate students to broaden and extend their knowledge of digital humanities. Through these programs, NEH seeks to increase the number of humanities scholars using digital technology in their research and to broadly disseminate knowledge about advanced technology tools and methodologies relevant to the humanities.
The projects may be a single opportunity or offered multiple times to different audiences. Institutes may be as short as a few days and held at multiple locations or as long as six weeks at a single site. For example, training opportunities could be offered before or after regularly occurring scholarly meetings, during the summer months, or during appropriate times of the academic year. The duration of a program should allow for full and thorough treatment of the topic.

On behalf of the faculty steering committee of the University of Chicago Center in Beijing, I am pleased to invite a new round of proposals for programs and academic events at the Center in Beijing. In addition to being home for study-abroad programs and internships, the Center supports a range of activities organized around three broad and intersecting themes: Business, Economics, and Policy; Culture, Society, and the Arts; and Science, Medicine, and Public Health (with recognition that some activities straddle these thematic areas). We encourage the submission of innovative ideas/proposals that will help foster global initiatives and facilitate collaboration with scholars and institutions in China the East Asia region.
Since 2003, the Joyce Awards have distributed $1.8 million to support the commissioning of new artwork from artists of color in Chicago, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Detroit, Milwaukee and Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Beginning in 2013, the Joyce Awards program will open its application process, so that any nonprofit organization, not solely art institutions can apply to commission work and create a project with an artist of color. Annually, a minimum of four awards of $50,000 each will be granted.

Mapping Cultural Space: Sites, Systems, and Practices across Eurasia is the theme of the 2014–2015 Davis Center Fellows Program, coordinated by Professors Julie Buckler (Slavic Languages and Literatures), Eve Blau (Graduate School of Design), and Kelly O’Neill (History). The seminar for 2014-15 will explore the significance of cultural space as both an object and a tool of analysis, taking as its focus Eurasia, an area of the world where political and cultural boundaries have been repeatedly reconfigured.
The 2014–2015 program coordinators are looking to build an intellectual community for a project that may extend beyond 2014-15, in order to deepen understanding of the complex and enormous territory of Eurasia in both theory and practice, and to explore interdisciplinary discourse and methodologies, as well as collaborative, multimedia forms of scholarly output that serve multiple functions (research, pedagogy, etc.).
