The Center for Italian Studies is pleased to announce the creation of a new faculty research funding source, the “Rome Research Development Grant.”

The opportunity, developed as part of Notre Dame Global’s Network of Research Development grants, was created with the aim of deepening institutional and research connections between Notre Dame Rome and partners in Italy by supporting the convening of strategic meetings in one of two ways.

Applicants have the option of establishing new opportunities for collaboration or strengthening existing ties at Notre Dame Rome, or, alternatively, applicants have the option of bringing collaborators from the locale of Notre Dame Rome to South Bend, with the goal of enhancing collaborators’ overall understanding of the University. Examples of possible partner institutions based in Rome include The Museum of the Forma Urbis, La Sapienza University, and The Vatican Library.

This opportunity exists to support the research of all full-time regular faculty members of Notre Dame and is open to all disciplines. Funding requests can be made up to $10,000. The deadline for submissions is November 4th, 2024 at 11:59pm (EST). For detailed information on submitting a proposal, application requirements and further information on eligible funding expenses please visit Notre Dame Global’s site here.
