Faculty Research Grants

The Program in Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS) is pleased to announce the NAIS Summer 2025 Faculty Research Grants for NAIS faculty affiliates. We are able to offer partial funding support toward travel and other expenses for affiliated faculty members conducting research or attending conferences or workshops on topics related to Native American and Indigenous Studies. This funding is intended to allow NAIS faculty affiliates to pursue research or attend a conference when expenses go beyond what is covered by other sources of funding.
 
Eligibility
All active faculty affiliates of the NAIS Program are encouraged to apply. Eligible funding requests include:

  • Upcoming NAIS-related conference travel in late Spring or Summer 2025.
  • Upcoming NAIS-related research travel in late Spring or Summer 2025.

Applications will be reviewed by a committee of NAIS faculty affiliates. Notifications of awards will be made as soon as possible following receipt of the application. Award notifications will include an account number and instructions you may provide to the appropriate staff member in your department to apply toward your travel reimbursements.
