Description
The Institute for Humane Studies offers Expense Support through the Hayek Fund to help faculty advance research within the classical liberal tradition. Grants offset targeted costs such as presenting at a conference, conducting archival research, purchasing datasets or specialized research sources, working with a research assistant, and preparing or publishing a manuscript. The program supports scholarship that contributes to academic conversations about political, economic, intellectual, and cultural freedom.
IHS prioritizes work connected to its initiatives or scholarly communities, with a clear plan to publish or share findings. It also favors proposals addressing the foundations of liberal democracy, economic freedom and the conditions for abundance, or institutional design for stable and effective self-government. Awarded faculty retain independence over research design, analysis, and publication.
