Research at Notre Dame

Notre Dame International and the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies are delighted to offer a research award for research in Irish studies.  

Keough-Naughton Library Research Award in Irish Studies

The award provides grant funding for scholars to use the collections of the Hesburgh Libraries for research in Irish studies. The awards are intended to defray the cost of travel and accommodation for research visits of one to three weeks in duration. The value of these awards is from $1,500 to $4,000. In this initial year, the selection committee anticipates granting two awards. Awardees may be established scholars, graduate students or postdoctoral scholars. Applications from international locations are encouraged. An important consideration will be the relevance of the Hesburgh Library collections to the proposed research project.

London Research Development Grant

Notre Dame Global is pleased to offer Global Network Research Development Grants that link to the University’s global locations. Funding requests can be made up to $10,000 per global location.

OPTION 1*
Planning meetings with UK/European research collaborators with the express aim of pursuing a joint grant proposal
OPTION 2*
Supporting an existing faculty-to-faculty collaboration in a way that promises a significant advance in establishing or deepening a joint research project
OPTION 3
Grant to host a colloquium with UK university (with equal cost share from that institution)
OPTION 4*
Designing a collaborative project that clearly advances the University’s strategic framework
*Travel can be in either direction in that the ND faculty could apply to support their international collaborators coming to South Bend
