Research and Travel Funding Support

The WHC earmarks funding for graduate students and faculty members (including both tenure-stream and non-tenure-stream) to reimburse eligible costs for attending conferences or conducting research. We welcome applicants from all disciplines.  We hold calls for proposals during the spring term. We will specify the amount to be awarded at that time.  Please click here for a list of past award winners.

The World History Center is not currently accepting applications for research and travel funding. 

In the 2023-2024 academic year, the WHC sponsored five projects by funding expenses related to research and conference presentations for individuals working on projects having to do with the global or transnational past: 

• Dr. John Boonstra, History

• Dr. Naima Mohammadi, Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies Program

• Eloy Romero Blanco, History

• Aidar Saduakassov, History

• Meining Wang, History
