Faculty Funding Opportunities
Yamaguchi Faculty Funding
Through the generous support of Mr. Akira Yamaguchi, the university is able to offer modest support each fall and spring semester for faculty-research related to Asian Studies and, to a lesser extent, for curriculum development related to Asia.
Fundable activities might include: research-related travel; expenses related to scholarly publication; the cost of books and materials essential to applicants’ research, and costs related to relevant workshops or academic conferences where a paper will be presented. Proposals for support for conference or workshop participation must include a detailed summary of the paper to be delivered.
Preference will be given to junior (full-time, but pre-tenure) faculty members, although other faculty will be considered.
To maximize the number of people who receive assistance, awards will typically be limited to an average of $500 and thus will necessarily supplement other sources of funds. The maximum award will generally be limited to $1000. Faculty may of course request less than $500 in support.
To Apply:
Interested faculty should submit a two-page proposal detailing the nature and the cost breakdown of their request and explaining the impact the support will have on their research or teaching. A letter of support from a colleague in the field familiar with the applicant's work and able to assess the merits of the proposal must be included. All applications should be emailed to Randi Edwards at randi.edwards@mso.umt.edu.
Successful awardees are expected to provide the Mansfield Center with a summary of activities funded by the award after they are completed and, if applicable, two photos of conferences, workshops, or research participated in.
Status: Application period is closed.
