All Michigan faculty and graduate students are eligible to apply for mini grants. Applications may be made at any time and must include a proposal, a budget, and a list of other funding sources, actual and/or solicited. A condition of funding is that the event have a component open to the university public (no grants will be awarded to entirely closed workshops, courses, etc…). Awardees must acknowledge the Institute’s support in their publicity and submit a report to the Institute at the end of the project. Funds will be disbursed upon receipt of the report; if this presents a hardship, exceptions to this policy may be granted on a case-by-case basis. Direct applications to Daniel Herwitz, Director, Institute for the Humanities, 202 South Thayer, Ann Arbor, MI 48104-1608, or by email to herwitz@umich.edu.
