Faculty Grants
The Edward J. and Dorothy Clarke Kempf Memorial Fund
2025-2026 Deadline for Proposals: March 7th, 2025
The Edward J. and Dorothy Clarke Kempf Memorial Fund supports Yale faculty members in organizing on-campus conferences, workshops, and seminar series on international topics in the humanities or social sciences, or their disciplines as they intersect with the humanities and social sciences. Full-time multi-year faculty from all schools and departments at the university are eligible to apply for Kempf funding through MacMillan. Kempf funds are not available to visitors. Preference will be given to events on topics directly related to the current research interests of the convening faculty member(s) and to interdisciplinary and inter-area teams of people. Priority will also be given to those who have not been funded recently, and to those whose proposals seem especially timely and pressing for our faculty’s scholarship.
Kempf funds are decided during the spring term for activities to be held during the following academic year. Read more about this fund and its guidelines here.
The deadline for applications for the 2025-2026 academic year is by March 7, 2025.
