Description
The Humanities Research Funds at Brown University provide annual, internal support for faculty research in the arts, humanities, and social sciences—particularly in fields where external funding is scarce. Each eligible department receives a fixed allocation from which faculty can request funding for research and creative scholarship. The initiative is designed to foster academic inquiry and creativity by providing resources to projects that might otherwise lack sufficient external support.
