The Institute for Research in the Humanities along with the College of Letters & Science and the Office of Vice Chancellor for Research are pleased to announce the participants of this year’s Summer Humanities Grant Writing Workshop (SHGWW). In this in-person, peer-review workshop, participants will prepare proposals both for internal university award competitions and for external funding agencies, with the goal of producing a complete proposal by the end of the summer to be submitted in the fall. Participants will meet weekly throughout the summer with IRH Director Steven Nadler to discuss the general and specific challenges of writing grant proposals, as well as the particular challenges fellows may be facing in their work. Through the generous support of L&S, each participant will receive $1500 in flexible research funds. Office space at IRH is also available.
