Big Ideas Generator (BIG) supports new bold, ambitious ideas that can change the way we think about a subject. A truly transformative idea requires a certain amount of intellectual courage- and the BIG goal is to provide all the necessary support for it before it can grow into a substantial research program. With the aid of a grant from the John Templeton Foundation, BIG provides two different levels of funding:
The Humanities Without Walls consortium invites applications for funding from cross-institutional teams of faculty and graduate students wishing to collaboratively pursue research topics related to “The Global Midwest.”
This initiative aims to reveal and rethink the Midwest as a major force in the formation of a global economy and culture—both now and in the past. Projects may focus directly on the Midwest or examine the ways locations far from the Midwest have shaped and continue to influence the region’s past, present, and future.
Proposals are due Wednesday, October 15, 2014 at 5 PM.
The Urban Forums is a series of research-oriented interdisciplinary conferences, working groups, workshops, and other events focused on urban issues, broadly construed. Events range in size from 30 to 250 people.
Due at midnight on deadline. Application must include a project title, the name(s) and CV(s) of the principal faculty sponsor(s), a 200-250 word abstract, a project narrative, and a project budget.

On behalf of the Faculty Steering Committee of the University of Chicago Center in Delhi, I am pleased to invite the initial round of proposals for programs and academic events at the Center in Delhi. The Center hopes to expand opportunities for collaboration with Indian universities, research institutes, and cultural organizations, to serve as a focal point for engaging alumni in India and South Asia, and to contribute to cooperation among the several international centers of the University.
The Center in Delhi will entertain faculty proposals for activities organized around three broad and intersecting areas of scholarship, recognizing that some activities will straddle these thematic areas:
Business, Economics, Law, and Policy
Culture, Society, Religion, and the Arts
Science, Energy, Medicine, and Public Health
We welcome the submission of innovative ideas and proposals that will help foster global initiatives and facilitate collaboration with scholars and institutions in India and throughout the region of South Asia. The Center hopes to promote the travel of ideas, scholars, and students in both directions between Chicago and South Asia. Proposals that include more than one area of scholarship are encouraged.
Proposals must be submitted online no later than 5pm on the deadline; applications must include a project title, the name(s)/CV(s) of the faculty sponsor(s), a ~250 word abstract, a project narrative, and a budget.
Deadline: October 25, 2016 (for projects beginning July 2017)
Program Description
The Neubauer Collegium provides financial, strategic, and administrative support for research projects that enable University of Chicago faculty to pursue complex questions that require collaboration and are informed by a humanistic perspective. The Neubauer Collegium encourages experimentation in the conceptualization and implementation of collaborative work.

The IHC's community grants program accepts proposals from nonprofit organizations that have a story to tell about Illinois or who have a way to use the humanities to enrich community life. We also accept proposals from organizations looking for technical assistance or general operating support.
THE IHC The Illinois Humanities Council is an educational organization dedicated to fostering a culture in which the humanities are a vital part of the lives of individuals and communities. Through the programs we create and the organizations we fund, the IHC promotes greater understanding of, appreciation for, and involvement in the humanities by all Illinoisans, regardless of their economic resources, cultural backgrounds, or geographic location. Organized as a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities in 1973, the IHC is now a private nonprofit (501 [c] 3) organization that is funded by contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations; by the Illinois General Assembly; and by the NEH.
WHAT WE FUND The Illinois Humanities Council (IHC) funds public humanities programming, media projects that have a humanities connection, as well as providing technical assistance and general support for Illinois nonprofit organizations.
It is our priority to support programs developed by, for, or aimed at reaching new or historically neglected audiences. We especially invite applications from organizations that serve these communities and strongly encourage other applicants to extend their proposed programs to include such audiences.
Requires submission through, and approval by, University Research Administration; must notify Grants team of intent to apply by mid-November at the latest--ideally earlier.
Collaborative Research Grants support interpretive humanities research undertaken by a team of two or more scholars, for full-time or part-time activities for periods of a minimum of one year up to a maximum of three years. Support is available for various combinations of scholars, consultants, and research assistants; project-related travel; field work; applications of information technology; and technical support and services. All grantees are expected to communicate 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;
archaeological projects that include the interpretation and communication of results (projects may encompass excavation, materials analysis, laboratory work, field reports, and preparation of interpretive monographs); and
research that uses the knowledge and perspectives of the humanities and historical or philosophical methods to enhance understanding of science, technology, medicine, and the social sciences.
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.
