[American_Studies] Funding Opportunity: The Central Region Humanities Center Research Grants deadline extended to June 15, 2019.

[Schoen, Brian]

Dear Colleague,



I am writing to let you know about an extended deadline for a very nice funding opportunity for research.  The Central Region Humanities Center is looking to award research grants of up to $3000 each to support Group I and Group II faculty who engage in scholarly research on humanities themes and materials related to the Central Region, with a total budget of $6000 per year in 2018-19 and 2019-20. Preference is for interdisciplinary scholarly projects closely tied to regional American Studies themes and expenses related to project development. Topics need not play directly into the courses that faculty will teach, and curriculum-related work is not eligible, although a central premise of faculty scholarship is that such expertise always informs instruction. Rather, the criteria will focus on the scholarly value of the project for advancing knowledge of regional American culture, as persuasively proposed. Deadlines are June 15, 2019 for 2018-19 funding and September 16, 2019 for 2019-20 funding. The goal is to support at least 4 faculty American Studies research projects between January and December 2019. Submit applications—including the CRHC proposal cover sheet, itemized budget, and project description (5 pp. max), and timeline for completion—to Brian Schoen <schoen at ohio.edu<mailto:schoen at ohio.edu>> or Roger Aden <aden at ohio.edu<mailto:aden at ohio.edu>>.



Please note also that the region and conception of humanities are determined by the NEH, which defined the Central Region as the states of Indiana, Ohio,  Kentucky, Michigan, and West Virginia. "Regional" therefore implies content focused on any or all of the listed states.   Please feel free to contact Roger or I if you have any questions.



Sincerely,

Brian Schoen
