Grants for Course Buyouts

Grant Amount Based on Need

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

Are you a faculty member looking for funding that allows you to focus on research?

Faculty members from various disciplines can request course buyouts and salary support from IHS so that they can work on their research projects and prepare them 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.

We are currently not accepting any new applications for course buyouts, but we invite you to explore other funding opportunities, including our new Requests for Proposals.

Eligible Applications

  • Priority for these grants goes to:
    • Manuscripts under contract with top academic publishers
    • Papers likely to be accepted in top peer-reviewed journals
    • Foundational and applied research directly tied to IHS initiatives
    • Applicants from leading research and teaching institutions
  • Applicants must be full-time faculty (including postdocs) at an accredited college or university

Ineligible Expenses

  • IHS grants cannot support institutional overhead or indirect costs

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