Faculty members in the Humanities and Social Sciences are invited to submit proposals for funding in support of projects that translate humanistic and social inquiry into meaningful engagement with communities, addressing pressing social, cultural, and civic challenges through research, creative works, dialogue, and events. Proposed projects must be led by FAS full-time faculty members, but collaboration with faculty members from other AUB faculties is strongly encouraged when it enriches the project’s interdisciplinary or applied dimensions.
This funding opportunity is designed to promote collaboration between AUB scholars in the Humanities and Social Sciences and community partners. Each proposal must include at least one community partner (e.g. NGO, cultural institution, municipality, educational organization, social enterprise).
Eligibility: FAS full-time faculty members in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Faculty members from other AUB faculties are encouraged to join as collaborators.
Budget: Up to $7,000 with a financial contribution from the community partner that must be equal to or exceeding the amount requested from AUB.
Application materials: Apply online (form will open in January 2026). Please upload in a single PDF file: 1. Proposal including abstract (no more than 200 words), description of the proposed activity and expected outcomes (no more than 1000 words), detailed budget and budget narrative (indicating the anticipated use of the requested funds and all funds sought or secured from internal and external sources), and timeline; and 2.
