Description
The Research Cluster Grant, offered by the Nanovic Institute for European Studies at the University of Notre Dame, provides annual funding to support multi-disciplinary, theme-based faculty research clusters. Clusters must focus on advancing outstanding research, scholarship, or creative endeavors in European studies and must align with the Nanovic Institute’s current research priorities.
