Funding Available for Arts and Humanities Projects

Tenured and tenure-track faculty from all University of Arkansas colleges and schools are eligible. Funded projects are intended to enrich the research and professional growth of the faculty member and the university, and result in new opportunities for research or other creative endeavors.
