Richard B. Salomon Faculty Research Awards
About the Salomon Award
- Grants of up to $15,000 are awarded for one year. Additional support for larger grants (up to $30,000) will be made available exclusively for faculty in the arts, humanities, and humanistic social sciences.
- The Salomon Faculty Research Awards are meant as development grants and may not be renewed, but no-cost extensions may be granted with appropriate justification.
- From 1995 to 1999, the award program was funded by the bequest of the late Richard B. Salomon, chancellor of Brown University. Since then, the University has continued to fund this program.
- Researchers can apply in the fall for the Salomon Faculty Research Awards via UFunds.
- Contact research_opps@brown.edu with any questions about the Salomon Faculty Research Awards.
