Description
The Expanding Research Access Grant, administered by the Franco Institute at the University of Notre Dame, provides internal funding to faculty to increase the public accessibility of their scholarly work. The grant supports open access publishing fees, translation of research outputs, and the development of innovative formats—such as digital projects or multimedia resources—that communicate academic findings to broader, non-specialist audiences. The program aligns with the Institute’s mission to foster faculty scholarship and enhance public engagement with research, particularly in the humanities and related fields.
