Funding Landscape and New Limited Submission Opportunities for the Week of October 14, 2024

Please share this information with department heads and eligible faculty.

Funding Landscape

The Doris Duke Foundation issued a call for proposals to fund a national discussion to strengthen health research.
The Collective to Strengthen Pathways for Health Research seeks to bring greater attention and resources to improve disease prevention and care. They invite the research community to help define an actionable blueprint for progress. The Collective will fund a set of conferences held around the United States in Spring 2025.

NEH issued a call for the Sustaining Cultural Heritage Collections Program.
This program helps cultural institutions meet the complex challenge of preserving large and diverse holdings of humanities materials for future generations by supporting environmentally sustainable preventive care measures that mitigate deterioration, prolong the useful life of collections, reduce energy consumption, and strengthen institutions’ ability to anticipate and respond to disasters.
