Summer Faculty Research Grants
Summer Faculty Research Grants (FRG) enable successful applicants to conduct scholarly work and research during the summer.
FRGs have the same goals and largely the same requirements as the NEH Summer Stipend. Therefore, FRG applications will also be considered for the NEH Summer Stipend internal competition. Beginning with the fall 2024 cycle, the application for these awards is combined.
Eligible faculty may also submit applications for the Roland Grimm Travel Award (October 2024 deadline) and the Summer Research Seed Grant (February 2025 deadline). Faculty applying for both the FRG and Summer Research Seed Grant will be awarded only one of the grants.
