SOA Internal Grant Program

Faculty Works Grant

The 2023-2024 Faculty Works Grant cycle will focus on providing developmental support for projects that are already in process, or, depending on scale, have supplemental funding from alternative sources. Priority will be given to support faculty in the late to final stages of research and project development. 

Faculty may request funds for the purchase of necessary materials and/or professional services performed by a specialized consultant (e.g.: copy/sound editing, indexing, engineering, translation, photography, etc.).

In addition, submissions in support of the research component of Directed Research studios will be considered.

This grant cycle will not fund requests for student support (RAs, UGAs), developmental editing, printing/publishing fees, purchase of image rights, research related travel or conference travel/fees.

Application Materials:

• • • Brief summary of project, providing project history, degree of development and estimated completion date.
    • Brief description of services or materials needed for project completion and goals for project upon completion. 
    • Concise budget estimating cost for requested materials and/or services.
