Forthcoming: 2025 Call for Grant Proposals
The Communities of Care project fosters and supports Community members, artists, and scholars whose work contributes to conversations about disability and care work. Topics include disability and social justice, access, and social, historical, and cultural understandings of disability and care work.
The UB Communities of Care project seeks proposals from UB faculty for individual or group seed grants for research. These grants are meant to provide individuals or groups with the funds to formulate or pilot humanities-based research related to the themes of the Mellon “Communities of Care” project. Applicants may define “community” and “care” broadly. We are especially interested in work that explores the intersections of care, community, race, disability (which may include mental health and chronic illness), gender, and sexuality. Ideally, these seed grants will enable recipients to apply for external funding to continue their work.
