Funding Requests

Funds overseen by the Native American and Indigenous Studies Initiative are designated to provide support for on-campus and off-campus research, projects, internships and course development that explore and increase understanding of the cultural traditions and political experiences of Indigenous peoples throughout the hemisphere and the world through historical and contemporary lenses.

Funds may be used to support guest speakers, lecture or speaking series, films, events and symposia, a clearly delineated working group for meetings, materials (books, etc.), visitors and presentations. Student research, projects and internships may also be funded through NAISI.

Please read through all application descriptions to ensure that you are applying in the right category. At this time, NAISI is not able to provide support for outside or external (non-Brown University) funding requests.

Guest Speaker and Event Co-sponsorship Requests

For Faculty and Students

In building Native American and Indigenous Studies at Brown, NAISI can help to support guest speakers for classes, lecture series or other events that expand and further develop Native American and Indigenous Studies at Brown University.

Submit information using this form so that we may process your co-sponsorship request fully. If your request is approved, we ask that you share all completed marketing materials with us and note NAISI as a co-sponsor. Events and talks are also promoted in our newsletters, website and social media. Co-sponsorship requests are typically awarded at $500 per guest lecture/talk.

Additional Brown University Funding

Other research, internship and course development funding opportunities from programs across the university are available to Brown-affiliated students and faculty.
