The first year of Fostering Research Expansion in the Social Sciences & Humanities (FRESSH) led by Associate Dean Nick Syrett wrapped its inaugural year in May. The goal of the program is to demystify the process of applying for external grants and fellowships for social scientists ad humanists. All participants are expected to submit one grant or fellowship application within 18 months of starting the program, so results are still forthcoming. Participants all agree that the resources and collaboration gained from FRESSH a great success. Congrats, all! We're so grateful to have you in the College.

Fostering Research Expansion in the Social Sciences & Humanities (FRESSH)
The FRESSH Program is designed to help scholars in the arts, social sciences, and humanities in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences apply for and obtain external funding for their research. The program will consist of workshops during the 2024-25 academic year during which scholars will work with invited guests and one another to develop a proposal suitable for submitting to an external funding agency such as the NEH, ACLS, NSF, or a foundation or residential fellowship program outside the University of Kansas. The program will introduce participants to resources internal to KU and facilitate the development of proposals. The program also aims to develop community and collaboration among participants. Deadline is Aug. 19, 2024.
