[American_Studies] Funding Opportunity: CRHC TEACHING Grants Deadline Extended to June 15, 2019

[Holcomb, Gary]

Dear Colleague:


The deadline for grants being offered through the Central Region Humanities Center to encourage regional humanities studies within the forthcoming American Studies program has been extended to June 15, 2019.


Full-time faculty members who develop or expand an established course by approximately 20% to cover a regional humanities aspect may apply for a $1,000 grant to support the course adaptation.


Six grants are available for 2018-19 and again for 2019-20. The CRHC endowment limits funding to humanities content or methods within American Studies. Not only those teaching in traditional humanities areas like History, English, Music, Art History, and so on, but also any instructor whose pedagogy qualifies as humanistic American Studies in the social sciences is encouraged to apply.


Note also that the use of the term regional accords with the definition established by the NEH, which has identified the Central Region as the states of Indiana, Ohio,  Kentucky, Michigan, and West Virginia. "Regional" therefore implies content focused on any or up to all of the listed states.


To apply for a grant, fill in the attached CRHC application and send it to Gary Holcomb (holcomb at ohio.edu), AS Teaching Committee Chair, by June 15, 2019. (For information about the CRHC, see the additional attached document.)


My best,

Gary
