Description
The National Endowment for the Humanities’ Summer Stipends program aims to stimulate new research in the humanities and its publication with a particular emphasis on early-stage research and late-stage writing. The Summer Stipends support continuous full-time work on a humanities project for a period of two consecutive months. NEH funds may support recipients’ compensation, travel, and other costs related to the proposed scholarly research. Eligible projects must incorporate analysis and not result solely in the collection of data, and they typically result in articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly resources.
Eligibility
Applicants holding tenured or tenure-track positions at institutions of higher education must be nominated by their institutions. The program limits eligibility to individuals who have not previously held an NEH award in any of its programs for individuals.
All applicants must be U.S. citizens or foreign nationals who have been living in the United States or its jurisdictions for at least three years immediately preceding the application deadline.
*Non-tenure and emeritus faculty as well as staff at an institution of higher education are exempt from the nomination process.
Application for Nomination Requirements
Eligible faculty must complete the InfoReady application by August 7, 2024 to be considered for nomination. Please follow the Application and Submission Guidelines (pgs. 9-12) when submitting the following:
Note: Nominated faculty will submit their individual application through Grants.gov by the NEH application deadline – September 18, 2024.
Additional Resources
Description
The NSF MRI Program serves to increase access to multi-user scientific and engineering instrumentation for research and research training in institutions of higher education. An MRI award supports the acquisition or development of a multi-user research instrument that is, in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs.
Eligibility
UNCW is restricted in the number of allowable proposals:
Required Documents for Internal Application
The InfoReady application deadline is August 21, 2024 and should include the following:
At the discretion of the reviewing units, internal proposals submitted past the internal deadline will be considered for a full submission to the NSF, on a case-by-case basis, if the addition of an MRI proposal to the NSF would not exceed the institutional limit.
Unallowable Expenses
The MRI program will NOT support proposal requests that include the following:
Proposals seeking support for the above items or activities are subject to return without review (if noncompliance is established prior to review) or decline (if noncompliance is established during the merit review process).
Research Opportunities Initiative Launch
UNC ROI provides targeted funding for innovative and potentially game-changing research projects that can enrich North Carolina and develop new technologies and methodologies. Priority research areas eligible for ROI funding include advanced manufacturing, marine and coastal science; defense, military, and security; pharmacoengineering; energy; and data science. The UNC System ROI accepts proposals from any institution in the UNC System, and invite submissions that propose a large-scale initiative involving multiple strategies designed to deliberately support and increase the research footprint in one of the eligible areas. The initiative should have broad impact and involve multiple researches and collaborators. Since the UNC ROI is a limited submission UNCW is only allowed to select a single applicant to support their full application to the UNC ROI directly.
To begin, select the HOME dropdown link and select faculty & staff (external), faculty & staff (internal) or student to be re-directed to the filed list of funding opportunities. Click on any title to view the opportunity overview which includes descriptions, information links and relevant PDF documentation.
Use your UNCW username and password to log in to InfoReady. If you have any issues contact the InfoReady team.
No. You can view requirements and save any application as a draft prior to submission.
Submitted applications can be edited up until the Internal Submission Deadline. "Still Open" opportunities that have passed the Internal Submission Deadline with no applications received will remain open until filled by the first applicant.
All submitted applications that meet the eligibility requirements and are completed as requested are passed on to the internal reviewer(s). InfoReady notifies all applicants of the outcome of their submission.
SPIN text search performs a full-text search against the entire text of the SPIN programs; this includes opportunity titles, sponsor names, synopses, objectives, as well as funding opportunity numbers, email addresses, keywords, and several other fields.
The search automatically invokes inflectional forms of the entered words. For example, a search for test will scan all SPIN programs for: test, tests, tested, and testing.
The search also contains a number of capabilities to build complex searches with various logic and grammar parsing. The commands can be combined together, along with parenthetical logic to dictate the order of operations, for building complex queries defining exactly what you are looking for.
Each opportunity in SPIN is catalogued with terms from their keyword list. SPIN's keyword search allows you to explicitly find opportunities that match one or more of the predefined keywords in our controlled vocabulary of approximately 3,500 terms.
Keywords can be combined in two ways with 'OR' or 'AND' operators. An 'OR' search will find opportunities that have either the keywords Geochemistry OR Geophysics; an 'AND' search is more specific and will find only those opportunities that have both Geochemistry AND Geophysics keywords.
Using SPIN's advanced search interface, searches can be more specifically defined. A dropdown selection allows you to choose the fields to filter where the full text of the opportunity record contains or does not contain the entered selection.
Distinct fields generate AND queries while using the same field multiple times generates an OR query.
After a search has been created you can save the search and receive daily or weekly email alerts. The email sends a list of relevant opportunities.
