Weiner Humanities Research Grant
Funded by a bequest from Maxwell C. Weiner, the Weiner Humanities Research Grants were established by Arts & Sciences to foster greater faculty research across the humanities. Their primary intent is to enable our tenured Humanities faculty who do not currently receive an annual research fund to pursue new research directions. The grants can be used for travel, books or other research-related expenses.
