After the conclusion of the most recent grant competition cycle, we are pleased to announce the following Humanities and Arts Research Development Program (HARP) award recipients for FY23-24. This year's HARP Development program was able to fund ten faculty and their projects.
The Office of Research and Innovation is proud to support faculty who are conducting important research leading to creative and performance projects or activities in the arts and humanities. This limited funding is designed to support faculty in the development of projects that seem likely to enhance the reputation of the faculty member and of the university. Funding is provided, in part, through the generosity of the Michigan State University Research Foundation at a level of approximately $25,000 per project.
Also selected for a HARP Award was Scott Boehm from the College of Arts and Letters, who received the HARP Large Scale Award. More information on Boehm and his project are to come.
