Title: Summer Short-Term Research Publication Grants
Program: These grants provide support to women scholars to prepare research manuscripts for publication, and independent researchers to prepare research for publication. Time must be available for eight consecutive weeks of final manuscript preparation. All applicants must demonstrate that the support will result in a reduction of their ongoing work-related activities. The grants are not for preliminary research. Activities undertaken during the grant period can include drafting, editing, or modifying manuscripts; replicating research components; responding to issues raised through critical review; and other initiatives to increase the likelihood of publication. It must be an original publication and cannot be co-authored.

Title: RRG-Working Group, 2013-14: The Work of the Humanities/The Humanities as Work
Program: Residential research groups (RRGs) and working groups (WGs) are both familiar structures supporting humanities research across the UC. Both convene groups of scholars to work in collaboration on interdisciplinary topics of special significance. Both are in essence teams of researchers, often from multiple campuses and for the most part unknown to each other prior to their selection, and assembled - either for a one-quarter residency or for a full academic year of occasional meetings and ongoing virtual engagement - to work on a commonly defined research agenda. This call initiates a hybrid version of the two structures. Bringing together elements of both, this hybrid RRG-WG will be composed of up to 10 humanities faculty and graduate students for a full academic year of sustained engagement. In fall 2013, the group will come together for several intensive short residencies (5-10 days) at UCHRI; over winter and spring 2014, the group will work together virtually as well as attend face-to-face meetings (including a three-day Society of Fellows retreat in winter and the Initiative's culminating conference in spring.)

Title: Graduate Working Group: The Humanities and Work: The Next Generation
Program: UCHRI will host two convening, one in fall 2013 and one in winter 2014. Each 1-2 day convening will include a writing workshop with faculty mentors and a meeting with the faculty participants in the Working Group on The Humanities as Work/The Work of the Humanities. Participants will ALSO be expected to work together virtually and with faculty interlocutors over the course of the year. The fall workshop will focus on Writing for the Public, offering participants an opportunity to share their own research and develop strategies for framing their work for broader audiences. The winter workshop will focus on The Work of the Humanities in the Public World, exploring relevance of their work and of the humanities in general beyond the academy. Each participant will be expected to produce two substantial essays for publication on a digital platform hosted by UCHRI. Participants will also share their experience and findings as panelists at the culminating conference of the Humanities and Work research initiative in spring 2014. Each participant will receive a $1,000 research stipend and will be reimbursed for reasonable travel expenses from their home campus to attend the workshops and meetings at UCHRI.
