Investigators may propose projects in one of three categories. Category 1 - single PI projects of any type with budgets up to $50,000 for one year; Category 2 - multi-PI projects supporting a new collaboration between two or more disciplines with budgets up to $100,000 for one year; and new for 2023, Category 3 - up to $50,000 to host workshops at Brown that propel teams towards a major funding target for collaborative or other center-type proposals.

Humanities Research Funds help support faculty research in departments and fields in the arts, humanities and social sciences with limited external funding opportunities. Faculty apply directly to their chairs for support; typical awards range from $500 to $1800.

Research Achievement Awards recognize outstanding research achievements of Brown faculty through eight awards given annually that each carry a research award of $5,000. Early Career Awards are offered every year; Mid-Career Awards and Distinguished Career Awards alternate each  year. In 2023,  Distinguished Career Awards and Early Career Awards will be offered.
