Research Working Groups
Research Working Groups (RWGs) are teams working on related or collaborative projects in any area of the humanities or humanistic social sciences. RWGs are ideal for early-stage projects or emerging areas of inquiry where faculty would benefit from opportunities to work closely together, develop new ideas, explore collaborative opportunities, or seek new lines of funding. For more information and to see upcoming calls for proposals, visit the RWG application portal.
