The Awards for Faculty program seeks to strengthen the humanities at Hispanic-Serving Institutions by encouraging and expanding humanities research opportunities for individual faculty and staff members. Awards support individuals pursuing scholarly research that is of value to humanities scholars, students, and/or general audiences.

The program welcomes projects in all areas of the humanities, regardless of geographic or chronological focus. In addition, this program offers applicants flexibility in project outcomes and award periods. Common to all projects must be humanities research. Eligible projects include:

• Research in primary and secondary materials leading to the development of books, monographs, peer-reviewed articles, e-books, digital materials, translations with annotations or a critical apparatus, critical editions, or other scholarly resources
• Research related to institutional or community goals or interests, such as projects that draw on archival collections, or the development of materials in support of culture or language preservation and revitalization
• Research leading to the improvement of an existing undergraduate course, including the development of humanities resources (for example, oral histories, identification and preparation of previously unavailable primary sources, or newly compiled historical or literary collections)

The program is open to all faculty and staff members, including full-time, part-time, adjunct, and retired faculty and staff at Hispanic-Serving Institutions. Awards support individuals who work between half time and full time on their projects. Projects may be at any stage of development. Applicants may propose to complete their project by the end of the period of performance or may propose to do so by some later date. Applicants may seek support for the creation of digital or web-based products intended to supplement a course revision or publication project.
