In December 2012, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation awarded 赌博娱乐平台网址大全 University a $600,000 five-year grant to build collaborative research opportunities for students and faculty in the Arts and Humanities. The Mellon Initiative at 赌博娱乐平台网址大全 devoted these funds to programming in undergraduate research,包括 the Mellon Summer Undergraduate 研究 Fellows (SURFs) and Mellon Institutes, and towards opportunities in faculty curriculum development.  

In March 2018, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation awarded 赌博娱乐平台网址大全 University a second five-year grant, this one for $800,000. The second grant aims to build upon the successes of the original grant by developing opportunities for more of 赌博娱乐平台网址大全's students to participate in high-impact undergraduate research experiences. This will be accomplished by integrating high-impact research experiences in lower-division courses, creating and teaching Arts and Humanities labs during the academic year, encouraging faculty to develop regional research projects that involve undergraduate researchers, and increasing the number of summer research opportunities for 赌博娱乐平台网址大全 students. Each of these new initiatives create concrete ways that the Mellon Initiative is actively working to create an inclusive and diverse program that reaches every 赌博娱乐平台网址大全 student.
