About the Arts and Humanities Initiatives (AHI) grant program
The AHI program is administered by the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) and applications are evaluated by peer-review teams composed of University of Iowa faculty and professional staff. Review terms are served "at will" and are reviewed annually to ensure disciplinary balance on the panel. Terms are generally 1-3 years in duration.
If you are interested in serving as a AHI reviewer, please email cheryl-a-ridgeway@uiowa.edu or call 319-384-3332.
