Humanities Without Walls (HWW) seeks applications for the Grand Research Challenge initiative. Applications are due by November 15, 2022.
The Humanities Without Walls Grand Research Challenge (GRC) funds collaborative and interdisciplinary humanities research projects that demonstrate a commitment to methodologies of reciprocity and redistribution. These methods are at the heart of HWW’s work to support humanities scholarship that is truly “without walls”; i.e., research that is not only publicly and community engaged but co-designed by all partners in recognition that expertise is located within not just within research universities but also in scholars located in a wide variety of institution types, occupational positions, and the communities.
HWW’s third Grand Research Challenge will require applicants to build a commitment to methodologies of reciprocity and redistribution into their project design that is clearly communicated in their proposal narratives, regardless of the research topic or theme.
Why Apply?
The Grand Research Challenge provides grants of up to $150,000 over a two-year period (January 1, 2023 - December 31, 2025) for teams pursuing research with a commitment to methodologies of reciprocity and redistribution.
