Description
The Cushwa Center at the University of Notre Dame administers Research Travel Grants for scholars studying American Catholicism. Grants support visits to the University Archives, Hesburgh Libraries, and other eligible repositories within the tri-campus community. The program helps defray travel and lodging costs for projects requiring substantial use of these research collections.
Supported research may draw on collections documenting the Catholic Church and its people in the American context, including Catholic publishing, higher education, social action, religious orders, and liturgical movements. These grants support independent research visits rather than formal appointments or residencies. The current application cycle supports visits planned for calendar year 2027.
