HUMANITIES GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH GRANT GUIDELINES

The Humanities Graduate Student Research Grants assist graduate students involved in original research or creative projects in the humanities, as broadly defined by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Awards will not exceed $1,500.

Applications are due by March 15, 2012 and must be accompanied by a letter of support from a faculty sponsor with the expertise in the area of the student's study.  Applications can be found on the CIS website on the home page under "Applications."  http://ideasandsociety.ucr.edu

These awards are primarily intended for research proposals that relate to a student's dissertation work. However, if funds permit, other proposals will be considered.

Proposals including personal interviews or experiments with human subjects must be reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board first. For forms and details, visit http://or.ucr.edu/about/forms/research-integrity-forms.aspx#HRRB. Such proposals should reference if approval has been granted and the protocol number. Funds are released only after such approvals are obtained.

The grant period is May 1, 2012 through May 1, 2013. Extensions for the grant period should be requested in writing. Awards terminate upon leaves of absence, filing fee status, withdrawal or graduation. A student must be registered in the Spring Quarter to use these funds during the summer months.

Expenditures must be within the categories budgeted in the application. Written permission is required for budget adjustments prior to spending funds. All expenditures are processed through the student's department using university accounting procedures. Departmental expenditure reports are sent to the Center for Ideas and Society, Attn: Laura Lozon. Major purchases of non-expendable equipment will not be funded. Reusable supplies and equipment purchased from these funds remain the property of UCR. Research grants are neither for stipends nor for the actual preparation of thesis copy such as typing, charts, or photographs.

At the termination of the award, each recipient must submit a brief explanation of the activities undertaken and the outcome of the project to the Center for Ideas and Society, INTN 2026 Attn: Director, Center for Ideas and Society.

DEFINITION OF THE HUMANITIES: The bill creating the National Endowment for the Humanities (PL 89-209) indicates "...the term humanities includes, but is not limited to, the study of the following: language; linguistics; literature; history; jurisprudence; philosophy; archaeology; comparative religion; ethics; the history, criticism, theory and practice of the arts; those aspects of the social sciences which have humanistic content and employ humanistic methods; and the study and application of the humanities to the human environment with particular attention to the relevance of the humanities to the current condition of national life..." The Endowment supports projects involving additional humanities-based disciplines not explicitly named in the law, such as the history of science and cultural anthropology.
