Dear Colleagues,
I am glad to extend an invitation to all tenure-track and tenured faculty members to apply for Research Council Major Grants and Scholarly Leaves for the academic year 2024–25. These grants and leaves provide support for your research and scholarly projects at any stage.
Please note that we have updated the guidelines to simplify the application process. The narrative length for proposals is now limited to 1000 words, and the requirement of external funding applications for scholarly leaves has been eliminated to simplify your application process. Please review our updated guidelines thoroughly, as they contain other essential changes.
Some Important Information About Major Grants and Scholarly Leaves
- Major Grants (up to $8,000 for Research Council major grants and $12,000 for Picker Fellowships) are designed to cover expenses such as travel, lodging, materials, and supplies.
