Grants for Tenure-Track Faculty Book Manuscript Conferences

Funder: Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University

The Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University offers grants of up to $5,000 for tenure-track faculty to host book manuscript conferences. These conferences provide an opportunity for faculty to receive expert feedback on their draft manuscripts, focusing on research aligned with the Center's interests in global and comparative issues. This initiative aims to support quality scholarship and enhance academic collaboration among faculty members.

The Weatherhead Center guarantees the opportunity to hold a conference for an in-progress book manuscript to every Faculty Associate who is an assistant or associate professor. The purpose of these conferences is to gather expert assistance to critique and review texts still in draft. The Weatherhead Center awards up to $5,000 to tenure-track faculty who wish to conduct such a conference when it relates to the core research interests of the Center. This research focuses on international, transnational, global, and comparative national issues and may address contemporary or historical topics, including rigorous policy analysis, as well as the study of specific countries and regions outside the United States.
Funding Available
Grants for tenure-track faculty book manuscript conferences will be for no more than $5,000. The funding available is limited. (No more than five such conferences will be funded in any academic year.)

Eligibility

All tenure-track Faculty Associates of the Weatherhead Center are entitled to a book conference one time during the years of their tenure-track faculty status.
