External funding

HFA faculty members have secured grants and fellowships from prestigious funding organizations such as the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Ford Foundation, and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. 

Recognizing the value and benefit of off-campus funding, the College of Humanities & Fine Arts (HFA) is committed to helping faculty members identify potential funding sources and prepare competitive applications.

All HFA faculty members planning to apply for external funding are required to complete the College of Humanities and Fine Arts Proposal Assistance Request Form. The form is part of the campus' grant tracking/management system, Kuali and should be submitted prior to the funding deadline. Queries about the form may be sent to HFA's grants and contracts coordinator at ISSR, Francis Lo, francis [at] umass [dot] edu (francis[at]umass[dot]edu).  Also see ISSR External Grant Proposal Preparation: Timeline for Success 


Office of Research & Engagement

The University’s Office of Research and Engagement supports campus research and creative efforts with several grant and award programs. 


Foundation Relations

Foundation Relations helps with everything from program ideation to proposal writing, editing, and submission for private grant opportunities. This link will take you to a full list of the services they provide. If you have a project that does not fit within the parameters of the highlighted RFPs, we would love to work with you to identify funders whose grantmaking portfolios are better matched to your needs.
