The ACLS Project Grants for HBCU Faculty provide up to $10,000 for early-stage or smaller-scale humanities and social sciences research projects. Eligible projects must employ humanistic and qualitative methodologies and focus on original scholarly research or teaching in higher education. The 12-15 month grants support activities such as course releases, travel, research support, and community engagement. Awardees also gain access to networking and mentorship opportunities aligned with their scholarly goals.
Applicants must be faculty at accredited HBCUs with an MA or PhD in humanities or related social sciences. Part-time and adjunct instructors are eligible and must remain employed at an HBCU during the award.
