EXTERNAL FELLOWSHIP AND SELECTED INSTITUTIONAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FORHUMANITIES and HUMANITIES-ORIENTED SOCIAL SCIENCES SCHOLARS

This list is intended for your planning purposes. It is our hope that you will be able to use it to determine which agencies might fund your research, find more information by visiting their websites, and use what you learn to develop a personal external funding list that will help you stay on task as you prepare your applications.

To navigate, keep this document in layout view, scroll to the table of contents, then click on the page number of the agency or program in which you’re interested. This will take you directly to that entry. If you then wish to learn more, click on the agency’s website address (URL). If clicking doesn’t work, copy the URL, paste it into the address line of your web browser, and type return. Some agencies had not updated their websites at the time this document was compiled, so do check the agency websites and read application instructions carefully.

Although this document focuses largely on fellowships for individual work, it includes a few instances of institutional grants and fellowships. You can submit individual fellowship and grant applications entirely on your own or though the Humanities Grant Development Office (HGDO). Institutional proposals (those requiring submission by a 501(c)3 non profit organization) must be submitted on your behalf by the University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc. (KUCR).

Applicants must make a firm commitment of their time and focus in order to develop competitive grant and fellowship proposals. Because most agencies have deadlines only once each year and take from three to eight months to announce awards, this requires long-term planning. A simple individual fellowship or small grant application can be prepared in four to six weeks. That is not the case for institutional grant proposals. Because of the complexity of such applications, the frequent need to interface with agency program officers, and the necessity for institutional approval and submission it is critical to begin working on them a minimum of four months and preferably six months prior to the agency's deadline in order to compete successfully. If you have collaborators, especially at other institutions, extend your grant proposal development timeline to accommodate the interfaces and required agreements between institutions and among collaborators. Federal agencies typically post guidelines only six to eight weeks before the deadline. In such cases, you can work from the previous year's guidelines and aim for the last known deadline, then tweak materials as may be necessary after the agency posts new instructions. HGDO staff will be glad to talk with you about your research funding strategies and help you create your proposal development timeline, as well as work with you to develop and submit your external applications, whether directly or through KUCR.

As you plan, please keep in mind that the internal deadline to submit all final materials to the HGDO is five (5) working days prior to the agency’s deadline. If requesting a full review and comments, the deadline to submit final drafts is ten (10) working days prior to the agency's deadline. To take full advantage our services, you need to begin working with us on fellowships a minimum of four weeks prior to the agency's deadline. The timeline for institutional grants is much longer, as noted above. KUCR also has an internal deadline of five (5) working days for all final application materials. HGDO can serve as your interface with KUCR, if you begin working with us early enough to allow us to provide this service.

This list is not exhaustive. If you know of other sources, please let us know. If you find nothing here that might help you, go to http://pivot.cos.com and conduct a search specific to your needs. Access to this online database is free to KU scholars (including students) courtesy of KUCR and offers the most comprehensive and dependable compilation of funding opportunities currently available. You can access it from any KU computer or, if KU is your service provider, from your computer at home.

American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS)Note: The New York Public Library and Burkhardt Fellowships require residency and the international programs require travel abroad. Programs are listed together to show the spectrum of what this important agency has to offer.

ACLS FellowshipsThe ACLS invites research applications in all disciplines of the humanities and humanities-related social sciences. ACLS does not fund creative work (e.g., novels or films), textbooks, straightforward translation, or pedagogical projects. The ACLS Fellowships are intended as salary replacement to help scholars devote six to twelve continuous months to full-time research and writing. ACLS Fellowships are portable and are tenable at the fellow’s home institution, abroad, or at another appropriate site for research. The Fellowship stipend is set at three levels based on academic rank: up to $35,000 for Assistant Professor and career equivalent; up to $45,000 for Associate Professor and career equivalent; and up to $70,000 for full Professor and career equivalent.URL: http://www.acls.org/grants/Default.aspx?id=380&linkidentifier=id&itemid=380Deadline: September 23

ACLS Digital Innovation FellowshipsThis program supports digitally based research in the humanities and humanities-related social sciences. Fellowships support an academic year dedicated to work on a major scholarly project that takes a digital form. Projects may involve development of new digital tools that further

1

humanistic research (such as digital research archives or innovative databases) or research that depends on or is greatly enhanced by the use of such tools. Successful applicants will submit projects with the promise to help advance digital humanistic scholarship by broadening the understanding of its nature and exemplifying the robust infrastructure necessary for creating further such works. To be eligible, an individual must have had the PhD conferred prior to the application deadline in addition to being a US citizen or having permanent resident status. This award has a stipend of up to $60,000 and provides up to $25,000 toward additional project costs.URL: http://www.acls.org/grants/Default.aspx?id=508&linkidentifier=id&itemid=508Deadline: September 23

ACLS/New York Public Library Fellowships (note that this requires residency)ACLS and The New York Public Library offers a collaborative program to support residential fellowships per year at the Library’s Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers. The Center for Scholars and Writers provides opportunities for up to 15 Fellows to explore the rich, diverse collections in the NYPL's Stephen A. Schwarzman Building (formerly the Humanities and Social Sciences Library). The Center also serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas among Fellows, invited guests, the wider academic and cultural communities, and the interested public. It provides individual office space and common areas in the Library building. Because this is a joint fellowship, applicants for the ACLS/NYPL residential fellowships must also apply to the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the NYPL. The award provides a stipend of $70,000.URL: ACLS: http://www.acls.org/programs/acls/

NYPL: http://www.nypl.org/cswDeadlines: ACLS-September 23, NYPL- September 23

Charles A. Ryskamp Research Fellowship (Currently suspended)These fellowships support advanced assistant professors and untenured associate professors in the humanities and related social sciences whose scholarly contributions have advanced their fields and who have well-designed and carefully developed plans for new research. Applicants must have passed their mid-tenure review before the submission deadline, and must not complete their tenure review before February 1 of the following year. The goal of their project should be a major piece of scholarly work, generally the scholar’s second major project after the dissertation. Amount: a stipend of $64,000, a fund of $2,500 for research and travel, and an additional 2/9 of the stipend ($14,222) for one summer's support, if justified. Previous supported research leaves do not affect eligibility.URL: http://www.acls.org/grants/Default.aspx?id=408&linkidentifier=id&itemid=408Deadline: (Currently suspended)

Frederick Burkhardt Residential Fellowship for Recently Tenured Scholars This fellowship supports an academic year of residence at any one of the national residential research centers participating in the program (see website for a list). These fellowships support long-term, unusually ambitious projects in the humanities and related social sciences. The ultimate goal of the project should be a major piece of scholarly work by the applicant. Open to recently tenured humanists—scholars. Amount: $75,000. URL: http://www.acls.org/grants/Default.aspx?id=480&linkidentifier=id&itemid=480 Deadline: September 23

ACLS Public FellowsThe program places recent PhDs from the humanities and humanistic social sciences in TWO-YEAR staff positions at partnering organizations in government and the nonprofit sector. Fellows will participate in the substantive work of these organizations and receive professional mentoring. ACLS seeks applications from PhDs who have received their degrees in the last three years and who aspire

2

to careers in administration, management, and public service by choice rather than circumstance. Amount: $65,000 per year, as well as individual health insurance.URL: http://www.acls.org/programs/publicfellows/ Deadline: March 19 (last known)

American Research in the Humanities in ChinaApplicants must submit a carefully formulated research proposal that reflects an understanding of the present Chinese academic and research environment. Those submitting a joint proposal must apply individually.

Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation/ACLS Postdoctoral Fellowships in Buddhist StudiesThis postdoctoral fellowship will provide two years of funding ($55,000 annually + $5,000 relocation cost reimbursement) to recent Ph.D. recipients for residence at a university. The funds should be used either for revision of the dissertation into a publishable manuscript or beginning the first new project after completion of the Ph.D. Degree. In addition, teaching one course annually is encouraged. Priority will be given to residence at universities providing a collegial atmosphere and working conditions that enable a postdoctoral fellow's entry into an academic career in Buddhist studies. Applicants must have the Ph.D. conferred no earlier than January 1, 2011. URL: http://www.acls.org/programs/buddhist-studies/#postdocDeadline: (Program guidelines are under revision, check the website after Sept. 1)

Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation/ACLS Collaboration Research Grant in Buddhist StudiesThis fellowship looks to support interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary work in Buddhist Studies. Applications must propose a clear plan for the collaboration with a jointly-authored, research-based scholarly product. While scholars collaborate in many ways, such as reviewing each other’s work or sharing ideas at conferences, these grants will support only projects in which all principals dedicate a significant amount of effort to the joint work. Each team member must be released from teaching and other obligations for at least three months for each academic year of the grant period. Requests to fund conferences or workshops will be considered only as part of a broader, research-based project. Conferences or meetings in themselves do not fulfill the requirement for jointly authored, research-based scholarly products. URL: http://www.acls.org/programs/buddhist-studies/#collabDeadline: (Program guidelines are under revision, check the website after Sept. 1)

American Historical AssociationOnly AHA members are eligible to apply and preference is given to non-tenured faculty, advanced doctoral students, and unaffiliated scholars. Funding may be used for travel to a library or archive, microfilming, photography, or photocopying, borrowing or access fees, and similar research expenses.
