Emphasis is placed on projects that cross religious, disciplinary, and geographic borders, and on scholarship that is theoretically sophisticated, historically informed, critically reflexive, and practically invested. Priority is given to work that rethinks what theology is and reimagines its contemporary significance; to research that creatively examines received assumptions about religion, secularity, and public culture; and to projects located at the intersections of theological inquiry and the multidisciplinary study of religion. The Theology program currently supports projects in two grant categories: responsive grants and the Luce Fund for Theological Education. Letters of Intent may be sent at any time.

DOL VETS supports local Stand Down (SD) events that assist homeless veterans by providing a wide variety of employment, social, and health services. Grant funds must be used to enhance employment and training opportunities or to promote the self-sufficiency of homeless veterans through paid work.

Lack of shelter limits their ability to prepare for and present themselves at job interviews or be contacted for follow-up. Basic services such as showers, haircuts, attention to health concerns, and other collaborative services provided at SD events can give participants a greater sense of self and an opportunity to improve their chances of securing and maintaining employment.
