What are the components of an application?
The application process begins with an online application form, including short abstract, budget, project description, and other information. After the application deadline, your file will be assigned to a member of the Arts and Humanities Research Committee, who will contact you or your department secretary about setting up an appointment for an interview. At that time, he or she will also request a copy of your cv, either in printed or electronic format. At the interview, your interviewer will ask you follow-up questions to the written application and cv, and try to learn as much as possible about your research project and your qualifications as well as the results of projects previously funded by the Research Committee. In the case of junior faculty, the interviewer also speaks with the department chair. At a Research Committee meeting, the interviewer then presents your proposal, and answers questions from other committee members.
