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.
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.
Fellows may only hold one Guggenheim award in their lifetime. May be required to provide supplementary materials (in hard-copy). Career narrative required instead of CV. May provide up to four references for letters.
Guggenheim Fellowships are grants to selected individuals made for a minimum of six months and a maximum of twelve months. Since the purpose of the Guggenheim Fellowship program is to help provide Fellows with blocks of time in which they can work with as much creative freedom as possible, grants are made freely. No special conditions attach to them, and Fellows may spend their grant funds in any manner they deem necessary to their work.
above deadline for AY14 proposals; there will be a subsequent CFP for projects taking place in AY15 and beyond, but submissions are also welcome at any time.
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.
Often characterized as "midcareer" awards, Guggenheim Fellowships are intended for men and women who have already demonstrated exceptional capacity for productive scholarship or exceptional creative ability in the arts.
Fellowships are awarded through two annual competitions: one open to citizens and permanent residents of the United States and Canada, and the other open to citizens and permanent residents of Latin America and the Caribbean. Candidates must apply to the Guggenheim Foundation in order to be considered in either of these competitions.
The Foundation receives between 3,500 and 4,000 applications each year. Although no one who applies is guaranteed success in the competition, there is no prescreening: all applications are reviewed. Approximately 200 Fellowships are awarded each year.
The Arts Council solicits original ideas for the creation and presentation of arts in all genres. Proposals are accepted only from university-based or -affiliated organizations or units: faculty, departments or centers, recognized student organizations (RSO), campus cultural institutions, and other organizations involved in campus life.
First Call for Proposals in New US-UK-India Higher Education Partnership
The British Council is excited to announce the first trilateral strand of the successful UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI) with the launch of the new Trilateral Research in Partnership (TRIP) Awards with the United States. Ten awards of up to £50,000 (USD $75,000) in funds will be available to support multidisciplinary research projects between UK, US and Indian higher education institutions.
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. In those ten years, Joyce Award recipients have flourished both nationally and within their communities.
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.
