Grants Mentoring

The Institute for the Arts and Humanities launched a Grants Mentoring initiative in 2008 to help arts and humanities faculty attract more national grant funding for their work from such major funding sources as the National Endowment for the Arts and Humanities, The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies and the National Humanities Center.

In addition to hosting an annual grants seminar and grants mentoring workshop, the IAH is creating a Funding Resources Web site and database of successful grants and fellowship proposals submitted by UNC faculty.

If you know a funding resource that might be useful for UNC faculty, please Submit a Resource for us to add to the Web site. If you are willing to share a winning proposal with your colleagues at UNC, please send an email to Anna Panszczyk at amp@email.unc.edu.  The Sample Proposals are password protected so that they are available only to members of the UNC-Chapel Hill campus community.

Annual Grants Seminar
The IAH inaugurated its Grants Mentoring program in February 2008 with the first Grants Seminar. It featured faculty who had successfully applied for research grants or served on review committees of these foundations, along with senior program staff representing these major grant-making agencies.

Annual Grants Mentoring Workshop
The IAH hosted its first Grants Mentoring Workshop on Thursday, May 8, 2008. Faculty mentors led small-group workshops to provide feedback and guidance to colleagues as they crafted proposals for various grants in the arts, humanities and qualitative social sciences.
