Humanities Impact Grants | Society for the Humanities Thanks to a special fund provided by Cornell Research & Innovation, the Humanities Council is pleased to announce $10,000 grant(s) to support research projects that engage in broader public conversations with social impact in mind.
These terms (“public conversation,” “social impact”) are intentionally capacious to encourage projects that are ambitious, perhaps unconventional, and propose unexpected connections between humanities research and wider publics—from close reading, archival research, performance, language acquisition, and translation to fields such as the medical humanities, digital humanities, racial justice, and climate change.
Applicants are encouraged to extend the frame of traditional research and creatively bring together faculty (and students) to showcase how the humanities impact people, communities, and/or the globe. Whether individual or collaborative research projects, priority will be given to creativity, new pathways, and unexplored ideas.
The context can be historical, social, literary, or cultural as long as the perspective is deeply humanistic and the results of the research communicated to audiences beyond Cornell. Cornell Faculty members holding regular appointments doing work in the humanities (including tenured, tenure-track, and professors of the practice*) are eligible to apply.
Applicants cannot have received Humanities Impact or Humanities Research Grant funds within the previous academic year. Preference will be given to applicants who have not received funds in the past two academic years. Faculty at the assistant and associate level will also be given preference.
*If you have questions about your eligibility, please contact Amanda Brockner, alb448@cornell. edu.
