We recently announced an internal funding competition for supporting proposals in response to the Humanities Without Walls Research Challenge scheduled for the Fall of 2021. The deadline for the local competition is April 23, 2021, while the one for the Research Challenge for November 15, 2021.
Although there is plenty of time to apply for both opportunities, those who aspire to be funded should start thinking early about their projects as the proposals need to incorporate explicit reciprocal and redistributive research mechanisms.
The University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign Institute for Humanities will organize two workshops to introduce prospective applicants or the research community to these approaches. If you are interested in applying or if you are simply curious to learn about reciprocity and redistribution in research, please join the conversations on
