    Other Yale Opportunities

    MacMillan Center

    • Collaborative International Research
      • MacMillan is offering funds to support multi-faculty research projects with international and regional foci and themes. This award is open to all ladder and multi-year Yale University faculty. This broad call is mainly intended to support the humanities and social sciences, but STEM and health-related proposals that include strong connections to the humanities or social sciences will be considered. The maximum award is $40,000.
    • Faculty Research Grants
      • MacMillan Research Grants are awarded for innovative international projects that will increase understanding in any era of specific countries and societies; for problem-oriented and comparative studies within and between regions; and for studies in international relations and global affairs. Projects in the natural sciences, health fields, and environmental studies will normally be considered only if they focus substantially on some interdisciplinary aspects of human and/or institutional behavior drawing on the humanities and social sciences.
    • Kempf Fund: On-Campus Convening
      • The Edward J. and Dorothy Clarke Kempf Memorial Fund supports Yale faculty members in organizing on-campus conferences, workshops, and seminar series on international topics in the humanities or social sciences, or their disciplines as they intersect with the humanities and social sciences. Full-time multi-year faculty from all schools and departments at the university are eligible to apply for Kempf funding through MacMillan. Kempf funds are not available to visitors. Preference will be given to events on topics directly related to the current research interests of the convening faculty member(s) and to interdisciplinary and inter-area teams of people. Priority will also be given to those who have not been funded recently, and to those whose proposals seem especially timely and pressing for our faculty’s scholarship.

    Yale Planetary Solutions

    • Annual Grant Program
      • Yale Planetary Solutions' 4th Annual Grant Program aims to support innovative and impactful projects that address pressing global challenges. The program offers three types of grants designed to foster new research, advance promising ideas, and translate academic knowledge into real-world applications.
      • Initiation Grants (up to $25,000, 12 months) support early-stage, high-risk research and scholarship, including workshops, conferences, book projects, and curriculum development.
      • Acceleration Grants (up to $100,000, 18 months) help projects progress from research to implementation by supporting proof-of-concept studies, preliminary data collection, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
      • Constellation Grants (up to $250,000, 24 months) focus on translating academic insights into practical solutions by working with stakeholders to develop decision-making tools, support pre-commercialization efforts, and scale innovations for broader impact.

    Office of International Affairs

    • The Yale and the World Partnership Fund
      • The Yale and the World Partnership Fund will provide seed grants for Yale faculty and staff to establish or strengthen collaborative projects with international partners. This funding, administered by the Office of International Affairs, aims to foster new or deeper relationships throughout the world that contribute to Yale’s mission through research, education, policy, or public engagement.
