Grants for Course Buyouts

Grant Amount

Typical awards range from $10,000 to $50,000. Higher funding awards and sabbatical grants will be considered for exceptional projects.

Program Overview

Faculty can request course buyouts and salary support to help prepare work for publication. A small number of applications are selected for full sabbatical funding, based on need and the expected influence of the work. Junior scholars are particularly encouraged to request full sabbatical grants.

Priority for these grants goes to:

  • Manuscripts under contract with top academic publishers 
  • Papers likely to be accepted in top peer-reviewed journals
  • Research directly tied to IHS areas of focus
  • Applicants from leading research and teaching institutions

Awardee Expectations

Awardees are expected to make significant progress on their project during the grant period and share that progress with IHS.

Applicant Eligibility

Applicants must be full-time faculty (including post-docs) at an accredited college or university. 

Application Timeline

We recommend submitting applications six months before the relevant semester to allow time for institutional planning. Decisions will be announced within eight weeks from submission.

Indirect Costs

IHS grants cannot support institutional overhead or indirect costs
