Resources for Humanists

External Fellowships with Late Summer/Early Fall 2022 Deadlines

Head to the Humanities Research Development website to browse a curated list of external fellowships and residencies for humanities scholars and creative writers with deadlines in late Summer/early Fall 2022. These may be of special interest to those faculty anticipating research leave in AY 2023-24. 

For further possibilities, Scholars should also search Pivot, the most comprehensive online database of funding sources available. Access is free with a SU email account and resources are available on the Office of Resource Presentations and Trainings Page under “Developing a targeted funding search with Pivot” (2/14/2021).

I would also recommend the comprehensive lists of individual and institutional funding opportunities in the humanities and creative works available on the Hall Center for the Humanities (Kansas University) website.

Book Subvention Request Form 

The College of Arts & Sciences provides subvention towards the preparation costs for almost all upcoming books. Generally, the subvention funds indexing and rights acquisition, but has also been used to support some of the other costs in preparing the book or part of open access costs.

To streamline the process, the A&S Research subvention request form is available online under Support by School and College on the Humanities Research Support site.
