Updated August 2015 EXTERNAL FELLOWSHIP AND SELECTED INSTITUTIONAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR HUMANITIES and HUMANITIES-ORIENTED SOCIAL SCIENCES SCHOLARS This list is intended for your planning purposes. It is our hope that you will be able to use it to determine which agencies might fund your research, find more information by visiting their websites, and use what you learn to develop a personal external funding list that will help you stay on task as you prepare your applications. To navigate, keep this document in layout view, scroll to the table of contents, then click on the page number of the agency or program in which you’re interested. This will take you directly to that entry. If you then wish to learn more, click on the agency’s website address (URL). If clicking doesn’t work, copy the URL, paste it into the address line of your web browser, and type return. Some agencies had not updated their websites at the time this document was compiled, so do check the agency websites and read application instructions carefully. Although this document focuses largely on fellowships for individual work, it includes a few instances of institutional grants and fellowships. You can submit individual fellowship and grant applications entirely on your own or though the Humanities Grant Development Office (HGDO). Institutional proposals (those requiring submission by a 501(c)3 non profit organization) must be submitted on your behalf by the University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc. (KUCR). Applicants must make a firm commitment of their time and focus in order to develop competitive grant and fellowship proposals. Because most agencies have deadlines only once each year and take from three to eight months to announce awards, this requires long-term planning. A simple individual fellowship or small grant application can be prepared in four to six weeks. That is not the case for institutional grant proposals. Because of the complexity of such applications, the frequent need to interface with agency program officers, and the necessity for institutional approval and submission it is critical to begin working on them a minimum of four months and preferably six months prior to the agency's deadline in order to compete successfully. If you have collaborators, especially at other institutions, extend your grant proposal development timeline to accommodate the interfaces and required agreements between institutions and among collaborators. Federal agencies typically post guidelines only six to eight weeks before the deadline. In such cases, you can work from the previous year's guidelines and aim for the last known deadline, then tweak materials as may be necessary after the agency posts new instructions. HGDO staff will be glad to talk with you about your research funding strategies and help you create your proposal development timeline, as well as work with you to develop and submit your external applications, whether directly or through KUCR. As you plan, please keep in mind that the internal deadline to submit all final materials to the HGDO is five (5) working days prior to the agency’s deadline. If requesting a full review and comments, the deadline to submit final drafts is ten (10) working days prior to the agency's deadline. To take full advantage our services, you need to begin working with us on fellowships a minimum of four weeks prior to the agency's deadline. The timeline for institutional grants is much longer, as noted above. KUCR also has an internal deadline of five (5) working days for all final application materials. HGDO can serve as your interface with KUCR, if you begin working with us early enough to allow us to provide this service. This list is not exhaustive. If you know of other sources, please let us know. If you find nothing here that might help you, go to http://pivot.cos.com and conduct a search specific to your needs. Access to this online database is free to KU scholars (including students) courtesy of KUCR and offers the most comprehensive and dependable compilation of funding opportunities currently available. You can access it from any KU computer or, if KU is your service provider, from your computer at home.
