HI Research Workshop funding is designed to support interdisciplinary collaborative groups in the humanities, focused on topics or themes that engage multiple humanities-based disciplines. Research Workshops may include any number of faculty and/or graduate students, focusing on any topic, but they must be interdisciplinary with coordinators based in different departments.
Proposals for new research workshops are not currently being accepted. A call for proposals will be issued in Spring 2025.
The Humanities Institute’s Research Workshops bring together UB faculty and graduate students from diverse disciplines to present research and to explore topics of common intellectual concern. HI provides seed money for workshops to sponsor group readings, guest lectures, works-in-progress seminars, and conferences.
Funding levels vary, but the maximum award is $2,500 per year.
HI Research Workshops are sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development.
All proposals must include the following information to be submitted via the online application form:
