About the Program
The Research Council Awards program offers six annual award opportunities to support faculty research and especially to encourage scholarship in tackling challenging disciplinary problems in the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and creative arts. The council has proudly proviced internal awards to the Rutgers faculty for more than 80 consecutive years.
The Individual Fulcrum Awards is tailored to individual researchers and those in the creative arts who are testing out new ideas to accelerate their scientific inquiry, program of research and scholarship, or creative production.
The Social and Racial Justice Awards supports academic research on racial and social justice in all domains of intellectual, social, artistic, and environmental life.
The Collaborative Multidisciplinary Awards offers the opportunity for a group of faculty members across disciplines to work together on a new, shared problem or line of research.
The Climate Action Awards is designed to support faculty whose work addresses the global climate crisis and its solutions at a variety of scales.
The Subvention Awards for the Publication of Scholarly Books provides partial subsidies to university and other highly regarded scholarly presses to cover a portion of the cost of publishing a scholarly book.
The Manuscript Review Awards helps faculty members publish authoritative, thought-provoking, field-changing books.
