Through the generosity of the MSU Foundation, the Office of Research & Innovation is proud to support faculty who are conducting important research leading to creative and performance projects or activities in the arts and humanities. Likewise, HARP provides funds, when research is complete, to help subsidize the costs of book publication, permissions to use copyrighted materials, CD recording and production, the creation and mounting of exhibits, and other expenses associated with producing the results of a complete creative or research project.
After completion of the most recent competition cycle, we are pleased to announce the following Humanities and Arts Research Program grant award recipients for FY2021. Congratulations to all of the recipients!
