Description

The Ivan Doig Center for the Study of the Lands and Peoples of the North American West is pleased to request proposals for the 2022 Faculty Research Award. Tenure-track faculty at MSU-Bozeman who are working on a humanities or social science-based research project related to the study of the North American West may apply for up to $2,000 to support their research. Priority will be given to faculty who are in fields that have limited access to research funding.

Eligibility and Application Process

The award may cover travel if it is possible during the pandemic. Transportation (airfare or mileage), lodging, and meal costs must comply with MSU Policies and Procedures for Travel.

You can find up-to-date information on mileage rates, per diem, etc. on the MSU Office of Sponsored Programs website: https://www.montana.edu/research/osp/documents/infosheet.html

Funds may also be used for photocopying, acquiring digital images, or fees for services at difficult-to-access archives, and permission fees for use of photographs, maps, or other images crucial to your project.  We will consider other requests that may be particular to your project, if justified.
