Current Grant and Fellowship Opportunities
Humanities and Humanistic Social Sciences (Winter 2026)
Click
here for current external funding opportunities for Humanities and Humanistic Social Sciences, with deadlines in January through March 2026.
Faculty seeking external funding for research and creative achievement projects in the Humanities and Humanistic Social Sciences should contact
Rachel Brubaker, CARAT Associate Director for Research Development. Consult with your department chair or program director before beginning any funding application. External grant and fellowship applications must be routed for university approval in either UMBC's Kuali system or through the CAHSS internal routing form before submission. Plan additional time (5-7 business days) for routing.
CARAT (Creative Achievement and Research Administration Team) assists CAHSS faculty with research development and pre- and post-award services. CARAT offers a range of support activities for faculty seeking extramural funding, including drop-in sessions, individual consultations, workshops, and co-sponsored sessions. Check our
website and
myUMBC group for upcoming activities.
To request a consultation or to begin a proposal, visit our
pre-award assistance webpage (you must be logged-in to myUMBC to complete CARAT request forms). The lead time for fellowship proposal development is 2-3 business weeks, and at minimum 4 business weeks for grant proposal development. CARAT reserves the right to decline proposal requests that do not include adequate lead time.
PI Eligibility: UMBC uses Kuali, a cloud-based research administration tool, for proposals and awards. UMBC faculty identified as a Principal Investigator (PI) or Co-Investigator on any proposal or award must first
obtain PI eligibility in order to develop proposals and receive awards at UMBC. This includes faculty with appointments after August 1, 2012, as well as faculty who have not previously applied for external funding. The process involves completing the Principal Investigator Research Administration Training and Education (PIRATE) in Blackboard and a PI Eligibility request form via DocuSign. PI applicants must also obtain PeopleSoft Finance and PAW Access.

Congratulations to Dr. Josh Abrams!
New Doctoral Research: Digital Accessibility Solutions
The Division of Information Technology celebrates Dr. Josh
Abrams as he graduates this December with a Doctor of Education in Educational
Leadership with a specialization in Adult and Professional Learning
Facilitation from Frostburg State University, following the successful defense
of his dissertation, "Beyond Reactive: Nudging Faculty to Promote
Digital Accessibility." His work focuses on practical strategies to create
a culture of accessibility, shifting from a reactive approach to a proactive
one when it comes to creating accessible digital course content. Josh's
doctoral research investigated whether digital nudging interventions, such as
in-app and pop-ups in Blackboard, could effectively increase instructor
engagement with course accessibility tools like Ally.
"This doctorate is the latest in a long list of achievements
for Josh," said Mariann Hawken, Director of Instructional Technology, and
member of Abrams' dissertation committee. "His work will make a tangible
difference, and his expertise and dedication are a tremendous asset to our team
and the entire university."
Josh's research, which he recently presented at the Online
Learning Consortium Accelerate conference, is central not only to UMBC's
inclusive excellence mission but also to higher education's support of digital
accessibility. With recent
updates to ADA regulations, institutions are required to transition from a
reactive model (where students must request accommodations) to a proactive
approach that ensures all digital course materials are accessible from the
start.
Josh joined DoIT's Instructional Technology team in 2020 and
quickly emerged as an expert in instructional design and Blackboard system
administration during the pandemic. He is an expert in digital accessibility,
holding credentials in digital accessibility program planning and Universal
Design for Learning (UDL) from EDUCAUSE,
a nonprofit association for higher education professionals that supports the
