Description
The Interdisciplinary Faculty Seed Grants, offered by the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women at Brown University, provide seed funding to support transnational, collaborative research initiatives led by Brown faculty across multiple disciplines. The program is designed to foster new interdisciplinary groups that creatively explore complex social issues and intersecting dimensions of difference—such as gender, sexuality, generation, work, class, race, ethnicity, language, citizenship, and religion—spanning the humanities, social sciences, creative arts, health sciences, and science and technology studies. Projects are intended to stimulate dialogue across fields and may serve as catalysts for future external grant applications.
