Wise Summer Grants

Wise Summer Grants support proposals for scholarly projects on which substantial progress can be made during the summer. The project should lead to an identifiable outcome, such as a chapter in a book, an article in an academic publication, poems, a play, a short story, or a conference paper. The project may be part of a larger program of research, but should have a scope and expected result suited to the summer period.
