Forms and Deadlines

 

This funding is intended to provide research awards to Humanities Research Institute Associates, in order to support particular projects, or parts of projects, that relate to the Associate's larger research plan, enterprise or undertaking. Examples of project-based work that would be eligible for these awards might include: funds needed for the completion of a book (such as costs associated with illustrations; support for specific archival projects; acquisition of project-specific software; the employment of a research assistant; funds to be used for the production of a catalogue or index; or the purchase of specific project-related equipment). The HRI does not fund the purchase of computers or books. Travel for the sole purpose of conference participation is not funded. Grants will be awarded to a maximum of $3000 for assistance related to the period January 1, 2012 through June 2012. Requests for smaller amounts of funding are welcome as well. Recipients are required to submit a short report to the Humanities Research Institute at the completion of the project, describing the work accomplished as a result of having received the award.

 

Beginning in July 2011, HRI funds that have not been spent within twelve months of the grant's receipt (or another specified date, as stated when the award is announced to the recipient) will be reclaimed by the HRI for redistribution during the next grant period. An extension of six months may be granted by the HRI Board upon application explaining extenuating circumstances that have had an impact on the completion of the project.

This funding is intended to provide partial support for conferences or symposia arranged or coordinated by Humanities Research Institute Associates, and held within twelve months of the competition deadline. For example, if funding is awarded as part of the December 15 2011 adjudication, then the conference or colloquium must take place before December 15 2012. The event does not necessarily have to be held at Brock, but must clearly relate to or enrich the Humanities experience at Brock University, or promote the reputation of the Faculty of Humanities at Brock. Grants will be awarded to a maximum of $1,500. In the case of a conference receiving an HRI award, publicity materials for the event must indicate HRI sponsorship; and a statement must be filed after the conference indicating how the contribution assisted in supporting and enhancing research in the Humanities at Brock.
