The “2025-26 Small Grants Program for International Researchers” is open to scholars with a Ph.D. based at institutions outside the USA. These grants are intended to defray the costs of a short stay at the University of Notre Dame, for the purposes of conducting research that would benefit from the use of our world-class library resources and consultation/collaboration with our faculty. The grant can only be used to cover costs pertaining to travel and accommodation, up to $3500. We especially welcome applications that have some thematic relationship to our upcoming research cluster, "Historical Traditions of Ethics."  However, the grant program is open to all projects in the history of philosophy, broadly construed.

The “2025 Summer Writing and Research Grants Program” invites applications from scholars with a Ph.D. and active academic affiliation who are working on research projects in the history of philosophy, broadly construed. Recipients are given access to Notre Dame's world-class library and are provided free accommodation for one month in a furnished visiting faculty apartment next to campus.
