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.

Fellowships

Artica Svalbard Residency

Challenging the idea of residencies as temporary, Artica will work closely with the key partners to support the artists, writers and researchers that come to Svalbard. Their physical stay is temporary, but the experience, friendship and knowledge (shared and gained) grows. If you have an interest in the polar regions and/or the global perspectives, conversations and issues emanating from the high north, then we would love to hear from you. Expressions of interest are open for a minimum stay of six-weeks at Artica Svalbard in 2025.

If this is of interest to you and you would like to participate or learn more, please contact OCA team member, Itzel Esquivel.

NEH-Mellon Fellowships for Digital Publication

Supports individual scholars pursuing interpretive research projects that require digital expression and digital publication. To be considered under this opportunity, an applicant’s plans for digital publication must be integral to the project’s research goals. That is, the project must be conceived as digital because the research topics being addressed, and methods applied demand presentation beyond traditional print publication. Competitive submissions embody exceptional research, rigorous analysis, and clearly articulate a project’s value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. All projects must be interpretive. That is, projects must advance a scholarly argument through digital means and tools. Stand-alone databases, documentary films, podcasts, and other projects that lack an explicit interpretive argument are not eligible. $5,000/month for 6-12 months.

Application Deadline: April 17, 2024
