FAHSS RESEARCH AND INTERDISCIPLINARY INITIATIVES FUND
The Offices of the Provost, the Vice President for Research, and the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, are pleased to invite applications for the FAHSS RESEARCH AND INTERDISCIPLINARY INITIATIVES FUND.
The purpose of FAHSS is to encourage interdisciplinary dialogue, research, and teaching, in the Fine Arts, Humanities, and lettered Social Sciences at Stony Brook.
FAHSS Individual Grants:
Full-time faculty from the Fine Arts, Humanities, and lettered Social Sciences may apply for up to $3000 each academic year for funds to provide seed money for special research and teaching initiatives and creative activities, matching funds for grants, publication subsidies and other expenses, research personnel, summer research grants, travel grants, research materials, special equipment, and other items or activities not supported through other channels. FAHSS funds cannot be used for summer salary. A preference will be given to applications from junior faculty. Preference will also be given to those who have not received a grant within the last three years. Applicants are reminded that funds for research travel and conference presentations are also available through the UUP Individual Development Awards.
FAHSS Interdisciplinary Initiatives Fund:
Grants of up to $6000 to encourage curricular initiatives, new research partnerships and working groups, and special events such as colloquia, conferences, performances, and exhibitions. Projects should contribute to the development of interdisciplinary contacts across the FAHSS departments, help build partnerships with other areas across the campus, and engage with national and international discussions about the future of our disciplines. To demonstrate the development of such contacts applicants should routinely include letters of support from the chairs of the involved departments. Projects pertinently involving non-FAHSS departments, especially those not likely to be funded by science agencies, are also welcome.
NOTE: Special attention for both awards will be given to projects that are intended to lead to the development of proposals and applications for external grants and fellowships. Recipients who submit a grant proposal to an external agency or foundation within one year of the fellowship period will receive an additional support allocation of $500. No more than 2 grants will be awarded to the same Individual Grant or Interdisciplinary Initiatives Fund project.
