CLAS Researchers Receive Humanities Scholarship Enhancement Award
Multiple CLAS faculty members will conduct research projects in the humanities throughout 2021 thanks to the Humanities Scholarship Enhancement Fund.
Sixteen College of Liberal Arts and Sciences faculty members will receive the Humanities Scholarship Enhancement Award to fund their research throughout 2021.
UF Research supports the humanities through the fund, seeking projects that have the potential to go on to receive extramural funding. Chosen CLAS faculty can access up to $12,000 to fund their research projects.
Whether they need initial funding to get their idea off of the ground or support for an existing project, CLAS researchers in the humanities are eligible to create a proposal that justifies and contextualizes their project. A committee of past Humanities Scholarship Enhancement Award winners comb through these applications and choose the winners.
During 2021, the fund will support the following CLAS research projects in the humanities:
- Adrienne Strong, Anthropology — “Caring Under Constraints: The Nursing Profession in Tanzania”
- Gabriel Prieto, Anthropology — “Child Sacrifices and the Role of Ritual Violence in Ancient Andes, North Coast of Peru”
