Resources for Researchers, Scholars, Artists, and Practitioners in Humanities and the Arts

The faculty of Humanities and the Arts at City College create new knowledge through research, scholarship, and creative work.  We publish books, articles, and poems; we exhibit art; we make films; we write and perform music and plays; and we create cultural images and movements.  Our work makes important contributions to our respective fields, and it informs and enriches our teaching as we engage students in cutting-edge work.

This page is designed to provide CCNY faculty engaged in humanistic or artistic work with leads to funding sources that support a broad array of activities.  Please follow the links to explore these opportunities.  If you have questions about these opportunities and your work at the college, please contact Deputy Dean Renata Miller at remiller@ccny.cuny.edu or 212-650-8836.
