Monmouth College encourages faculty to seek
external funding for curricular and scholarly projects. This is not
only a way for faculty to acquire valuable support for their
research programs, but is also a means by which the larger research
and higher education community becomes acquainted with the work
Monmouth faculty and students are doing.
So, where to look? Here are places to begin:
Associated Colleges of
the Midwest (ACM)
Monmouth College is one of fourteen selective liberal arts colleges
in this consortium. The ACM provides a rich array of faculty
development opportunities, including those listed below:
FaCE Grant Program (Faculty Career Enhancement)
University of Chicago-ACM Faculty Development Grants
Midwest
Faculty Seminars - sponsored by the University of Chicago (for
which ACM faculty are eligible to apply)
The
Grant Advisor Plus
Monmouth College maintains a subscription to this grant-information
database. Active grant opportunities, organized by academic division
(fine arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences) are
available to all Monmouth faculty from their campus computers.
Monmouth faculty may also access the Grant Advisor Plus website from
off-campus locations; contact the Director of the Grants Program for
the subscriber password, which changes monthly.

IRIS (the
Illinois Researcher Information Service database)
Faculty and staff can access this database
from their campus computers through
the
Hewes Library page for external databases. Like Grant Advisor Plus, the IRIS database is a valuable
tool with which to identify grant, fellowship and summer seminar
opportunities. The keyword search capacity of IRIS is
particularly useful for faculty seeking to identify grant
opportunities.
Grants.gov:
you will find listed here all of the active RFPs (Requests for
Proposals) from federal agencies and foundations.
Residential Fellowships at Libraries, Museums, and Research
Universities: Humanities scholars are usually more likely
to find support for their work through residencies and fellowships
than through the big equipment / science-oriented federal grant
programs (but note that there are always exceptions!).

Summer Research and Curriculum Development Stipends in the
Humanities (including history, archeology and some research in
politics and sociology)
NEH Summer Stipends
(From the NEH website:) This program supports individuals pursuing
advanced research of value to scholars and general audiences in the
humanities. Recipients usually produce articles, monographs, books,
digital materials, archeological site reports, translations,
editions, and other scholarly tools. Summer Stipends support
full-time work on a humanities project at any stage of development
for a period of two months. Stipends are awarded to individual
scholars, not to institutions.
NEH Teaching Development Fellowship
(From the NEH website:) These fellowships support college and
university teachers pursuing research aimed specifically at
deepening their core knowledge in the humanities to improve their
undergraduate teaching. The program has three broad goals: 1) to
improve the depth and quality of humanities education in the United
States; 2) to strengthen the link between research and teaching in
the humanities; and 3) to foster excellence in undergraduate
instruction.
NEH Enduring Questions - Educational Development Grants
(From the NEH website:) The purpose of this program is to encourage
faculty and students to grapple with the most fundamental concerns
of the humanities, and to join together in deep, sustained programs
of reading in order to encounter influential thinkers over the
centuries and into the present day.
NEH Research Fellowship
(From the NEH website:) Fellowships support individuals pursuing
advanced research that is of value to scholars and general audiences
in the humanities. Recipients usually produce articles, monographs,
books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations,
editions, and other scholarly tools. Fellowships support continuous
full-time work for a period of six to twelve months.
NEH Collaborative Research Grants
(From the NEH website:) This program supports original research
undertaken by a team of two or more scholars or research coordinated
by an individual scholar that, because of its scope or complexity,
requires additional staff and resources beyond the individual's
salary.
