We seek proposals in three broad areas:&nbsp;</span></p><ol><li><span>Research in archives and online data sets that will lead to publication.&nbsp;</span></li><li><span>Funding towards producing materials that seek to disseminate knowledge more broadly (e.g.: data visualization, maps, multimedia history, etc.).&nbsp;</span></li><li><span>Development of course-related materials, or course-enhancing programming. This might include funding for Research Assistants, site visits, or honoraria for guest speakers during the Spring of 2025.&nbsp;</span></li></ol><p><span>In this application cycle, in partnership with the Mahindra Humanities Center, we have additional funding for projects focused on migration and the built environment. We can support public events, course-related activities, and research activities with a public-facing dissemination component.</span></p><p><span>All Harvard affiliates are welcome to apply.&nbsp;</span></p><ul><li><span>Currently enrolled students, both undergraduate and graduate, may apply to undertake their own independent or collaborative projects. Students should indicate a faculty sponsor or advisor.&nbsp;</span></li><li><span>Faculty can only apply to categories 2 and 3.&nbsp;</span></li></ul><p><span>The Urban Initiative is particularly interested in linking humanistic approaches to cities with spatial investigations</span> of built environments. We aim to expand understanding of <span>urban life, social and political structures, design, and history across diverse sites and scales.</span> <span>We encourage projects with an interdisciplinary dimension and/or a pedagogical component that generates materials for teaching, exhibitions, publications, and/or digital platforms. Collaborative projects that bring together faculty and students from across the university to develop new cross-disciplinary approaches to the study of urban environments, societies, and cultures are most welcome.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span>Projects can be conducted in the Spring or Summer of 2025. Funding is limited to $3,000 per project. Budgets can include hourly compensation to students. All successful applicants will be expected to share some version of their project on the HMUI website.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span>To apply please submit a one-page proposal, CV, and budget to </span><a href="mailto:hmui@harvard.edu"><span>hmui@harvard.edu</span></a><span>.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p id="boxes-box-os_addthis">&nbsp;</p>
