HWW Grand Challenge Calls for Proposals

Purdue University is part of Humanities Without Walls, and as a special benefit, we are invited to compete in the limited submission competition for humanities research Grand Challenge grants.

Humanities Without Walls invites applications for interdisciplinary, collaborative, research-based projects in the humanities and arts that build a clearly communicated commitment to methodologies of reciprocity and redistribution into their project design and proposal narratives, regardless of the research topic or theme they focus on.

PI Eligibility: Tenure-line faculty in humanities or humanistic social sciences
Award amount: Up to $150,000
Project Period: January 1st, 2022–December 31st, 2024
Application Deadline: November 15th, 2021, Midnight, Central Time
How to Submit: Proposals should be emailed as a single PDF to HWWDirectorOps@illinois.edu.

In anticipation of the final proposal, the CLA Office of Research can support preparatory work through a local grant. The deadline is April 23, and should be submitted according to the outlined instructions.

If you have questions, please contact our office at cla-adr@purdue.edu or contact Jason Mierek, HWW Director of Operations, at the email address listed above. Thank you, and good luck!
