These grants are open to all faculty doing research and teaching that seeks to advance the mission of the Institute.  These grants can be used in a variety of ways: to conduct qualitative or quantitative research, enhance an already existing course or create a new course; undertake professional development in an ethics-related area; present a paper at a conference or symposium; collaborate with co-authors; or work with students.

Projects may take place either off-campus or in Hanover. Faculty applying for these grants must include a chart string where the funds will be deposited.  Faculty may submit grant applications for up to $5,000 to support their research.  The Institute reviews these grant requests the first week of each term and the award (which may be less than the amount requested) depends on how the project advances the mission of the Institute as well as the availability of funds. Fall term deadline, September 14.  Learn more.
