above deadline for AY14 proposals; there will be a subsequent CFP for projects taking place in AY15 and beyond, but submissions are also welcome at any time.
On behalf of the Faculty Steering Committee of the University of Chicago Center in Delhi, I am pleased to invite the initial round of proposals for programs and academic events at the Center in Delhi. The Center hopes to expand opportunities for collaboration with Indian universities, research institutes, and cultural organizations, to serve as a focal point for engaging alumni in India and South Asia, and to contribute to cooperation among the several international centers of the University.
The Center in Delhi will entertain faculty proposals for activities organized around three broad and intersecting areas of scholarship, recognizing that some activities will straddle these thematic areas:
Business, Economics, Law, and Policy
Culture, Society, Religion, and the Arts
Science, Energy, Medicine, and Public Health
We welcome the submission of innovative ideas and proposals that will help foster global initiatives and facilitate collaboration with scholars and institutions in India and throughout the region of South Asia. The Center hopes to promote the travel of ideas, scholars, and students in both directions between Chicago and South Asia. Proposals that include more than one area of scholarship are encouraged.
A complete applicationwill include a letter of interest, c.v. (including publication list), a research proposal, 3 letters of recommendation, and a published writing sample. Applicants should have their doctorates in hand by the beginning of their period of appointment at ISAW.
PROJECTED DEADLINE; will be updated when new date is available. Requires three letters of reference; shorter-term fellowships also available, but not sufficient to secure a full year's research leave.
Long-term fellowships are available to postdoctoral scholars who want to be in residence at the Newberry for periods of four to twelve months. Applicants for postdoctoral awards must hold a PhD at the time of application (unless otherwise noted). These grants support individual research and promote serious intellectual exchange through active participation in the Newberry’s scholarly activities, including a biweekly fellows’ seminar.
To encourage transnational and comparative research concerning Taiwan, the School of History, Philosophy and Religion at Oregon State University* launches a new scholarly exchange program, based on the generous support from the Chun and Jane Chiu Family Foundation. The program will award travel grants to Taiwan-based scholars who plan short-term research trips to the U.S., and U.S.-based scholars who plan short-term research trips to Taiwan.
Proposals must be submitted online no later than 5pm on the deadline; applications must include a project title, the name(s)/CV(s) of the faculty sponsor(s), a ~250 word abstract, a project narrative, and a budget.
Deadline: October 25, 2016 (for projects beginning July 2017)
Program Description
The Neubauer Collegium provides financial, strategic, and administrative support for research projects that enable University of Chicago faculty to pursue complex questions that require collaboration and are informed by a humanistic perspective. The Neubauer Collegium encourages experimentation in the conceptualization and implementation of collaborative work.
Often characterized as "midcareer" awards, Guggenheim Fellowships are intended for men and women who have already demonstrated exceptional capacity for productive scholarship or exceptional creative ability in the arts.
Fellowships are awarded through two annual competitions: one open to citizens and permanent residents of the United States and Canada, and the other open to citizens and permanent residents of Latin America and the Caribbean. Candidates must apply to the Guggenheim Foundation in order to be considered in either of these competitions.
The Foundation receives between 3,500 and 4,000 applications each year. Although no one who applies is guaranteed success in the competition, there is no prescreening: all applications are reviewed. Approximately 200 Fellowships are awarded each year.
The Massachusetts Historical Society will award at least two long-term MHS-NEH fellowships for the academic year 2014-2015. The stipend, governed by an NEH formula, will be $4,200 per month for a minimum of four months and a maximum of 12 months. Applicants must specify the number of months for which they are applying. Tenure must be continuous. Within the constraints of the NEH's guidelines, the Society will supplement each stipend with a housing allowance of up to $500 per month plus an allowance for professional expenses. MHS-NEH fellowships are open to U.S.
The Arts Council solicits original ideas for the creation and presentation of arts in all genres. Proposals are accepted only from university-based or -affiliated organizations or units: faculty, departments or centers, recognized student organizations (RSO), campus cultural institutions, and other organizations involved in campus life.

Re: Annual Call for CDI Seminar Proposals
The CDI invites proposals for courses from University of Chicago faculty for the 2013-14 academic year. With support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the CDI offers six team-taught courses each year at the graduate level with participating faculty from different disciplines. Each faculty member teaching in the CDI receives full credit for team-teaching. Additionally, the Mellon grant makes possible a $1500 stipend for each team to share for course-related purposes. For a comprehensive roster of our CDI course offerings and for background information on our consortium for disciplinary innovation with Berkeley, Cambridge, and Columbia, please see: http://franke.uchicago.edu/cdi.html.
