With support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Humanities Research Center’s Spatial Humanities Initiative invites faculty to submit proposals for Research Project Development. Faculty may request up to $15,000 to host conferences, meet with consultants or scholars, purchase materials and licenses, hire student assistants, cover programming and design fees, fabricate models, build databases, and/or support other endeavors that require financial resources outside the scope of individual faculty research accounts. Preference will be given to proposals that promise to spark collaborations, cultivate new scholarly paradigms, or forge lasting curricular innovation. The initiative’s GIS specialist/developer may assist with the development of awarded faculty research projects. Funds must be spent by June 1, 2021.
Eligibility: Rice faculty in the School of Humanities or with humanistic research projects are eligible to apply.
