Carla B. Howery Teaching Enhancement Fund Grants

Howery teaching grants can support an individual, a program, a department, or a committee of a state/regional association. Multiple grants may be awarded, each up to $2,500. Funds can be used for a variety of purposes including, but not limited to: summer salary, equipment, software, travel, meetings, transcription of interviews and survey implementation. All grants are awarded for one year, and recipients must submit a mid-year report detailing progress and a final report detailing the outcomes of the project.

The criteria for eligible research proposals are intentionally flexible in order to accommodate innovative projects. Primarily, the project must:

• Advance the teaching and learning of sociology.
• Have value or impact on the department or institution.

ASA membership is not a criterion for application or selection for this grant, however, recipients must be ASA members before the final award is made. ASA membership involves registration as an ASA member via the ASA website and acceptance of and adherence to the ASA Code of ethics. Applications from all sub-areas of the discipline are welcome. Grantees must provide documentation of pertinent IRB approval if the project is funded.
