Internal Initiatives and Funding Opportunities

The College of Arts & Sciences is pleased to offer a number of significant, internal research funding opportunities for faculty to collaboratively address the State of North Dakota’s critical needs, support creative activity and scholarship of faculty in the fine arts and humanities, and provide undergraduate students with research and creative experiences to enhance their learning.

We also offer awards to support external grant proposal development. In addition, donor funded endowments like the Joyce and Aqueil Ahmad Endowment for the Promotion of Peace and Nonviolence,the Itterman Professional Development Endowment, and the Hoekstra Leadership Award provide funding to support faculty research, professional development, and leadership speakers across the College of Arts & Sciences. 

For most of these awards, the application deadline is the middle of the fall semester and the grant period is the following academic or calendar year. Select the specific award(s) on the left for more information. All faculty are encouraged to apply.
