EXTERNAL FELLOWSHIP AND SELECTED INSTITUTIONAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FORHUMANITIES and HUMANITIES-ORIENTED SOCIAL SCIENCES SCHOLARS

This list is intended to help you 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 external funding 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 to the brief description of the opportunity. If you then wish to learn more, click on the agency’s website address (URL) or copy the URL, paste it into the address line of your web browser, and type return. Always check agency websites for current deadlines and to read application instructions to ensure you are eligible and the fellowship or grant will answer your needs before starting an application.

Although this document focuses largely on fellowships for individual work, it includes the institutional grants and fellowships for which our constituent faculty most often apply. 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) or KU Endowment Association (KUEA), depending on the agency and the nature of the project. Applications to federal agencies and those which involve human studies research must be submitted through KUCR.

Be prepared to make a firm commitment of your time if you hope to develop a competitive fellowship or grant proposal. A simple individual fellowship or small grant application can be prepared in as little as six weeks with focused effort. That is not the case for institutional grant proposals. Because of their complexity, the frequent need to interface with agency program officers, and the necessity for institutional approval and submission it is critical to begin working on institutional proposals at least four months prior to the agency's deadline. If you have collaborators, especially at other institutions, double the length of your grant proposal development timeline to accommodate the required interfaces and agreements between institutions and among collaborators. Work from the agency's most recent guidelines and aim for the last known deadline, then tweak materials as may be necessary after the current year's guidelines are posted. HGDO staff will be glad work with you to create a realistic proposal development timeline and help you prepare and submit your external applications, whether directly or through KUCR or KUEA.

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. The deadline to submit final drafts for comments to help you finalize your application, 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 six 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. To search for more targeted funding, go to http://pivot.cos.com, the most comprehensive online database of funding sources available. Access is free to KU scholars (including students) and you can access Pivot from any KU computer or from your computer at home with your KU log in and target your search to your specific needs, then talk with us about the sources in which you are interested. We are glad to assist with any external funding applications by KU scholars.
