IU has selected 21 faculty members to receive research grants totaling more than $1 million in the fourth round of funding through the university’s Arts and Humanities Initiative.
The 2003-04 grant recipients represent five campuses—IU Bloomington, IUPUI, IU South Bend, IU Northwest and IU Southeast. The grants will defray travel and other costs connected with the projects and provide time for faculty members to conduct their research.
The four-year, $4 million program was launched in 2000 to encourage faculty research in the arts and humanities. The program was implemented in response to declining levels of public funding for this research and creative work. The following is a list of arts and humanities grant recipients, their school or department, their campus and the title of their project:
