Humanities Centers Initiative (HCI) Public Humanities Grant

The Humanities Centers Initiative (HCI) is an innovative statewide partnership between Humanities New York and a network of humanities centers based at nine New York State universities. Launched in 2012, the HCI supports humanities institutes, faculty, and graduate students in their commitment to public engagement.

The Public Humanities Grant offers support for humanities graduate students as they explore the public application of their scholarly interests. Each Grantee designs and implements a public humanities project in collaboration with a community-based partner.
