Spring 2025 Call for Project Proposals: Due March 14

We invite faculty members, staff, curators, and graduate students to apply for funding to support collaborative initiatives in the arts, humanities and social sciences that bridge academia and the wider community. Priority will be given to proposals that include members of the Anthropology Department and/or the Maxwell Museum as project directors, collaborators, or consultants. We support fully-developedcollaborative projects, with budgetsup to $10,000.

Proposals may include but are not limited to lectures, museum exhibits, creative works, workshops, conferences, and research and creative projects that focus on material culture and oral history, environment and climate change, education,language use and reclamation, food, health, or any other topic of interest to participating communities.

Faculty, staff, and graduate students from other programs on campus may apply for awards up to $5,000 for the Spring 2025 call for proposals. Ortiz will provide matching funds for projects, to establish and solidify partnerships and research priorities, to complete a project already in place, or to initiate a longer-term project.
