Eligible Fields in the Humanities: American and English Literatures, Foreign Languages and Literatures (including Area Studies), Art History, Classics, History, Musicology, Philosophy, Religion

I am pleased to inform you about an exciting fellowship opportunity funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and administered by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation (WWNFF). Career Enhancement Fellowships for Junior Faculty aims to increase the presence of minority Junior Faculty (African Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, Hispanics, Native Americans and Native Alaskans), and other junior faculty members committed to eradicating racial disparities, in core fields in the arts and sciences. Applicants should 1) be in the third year of the tenure-track teaching appointment at the time of application, 2) teach in one of the eligible academic fields, and 3) be able to accept the award for the 2012-2013 academic year.

The objective of the fellowship program is to aid the scholarly research and intellectual growth of junior faculty (men and women) and improve their chances for success as tenured university scholars by offering support for twelve months of research and writing. The award includes a maximum $30,000 stipend, a $1,500 research, travel or publication stipend, and funding to attend the Fall Retreat in October 2013. The 2013 Career Enhancement Fellowships application deadline is November 18, 2012.

For Achieving Excellence in College and University Teaching

This year the program will award approximately 20 postdoctoral fellowships. The postdoctoral fellowships provide one year of support for individuals engaged in postdoctoral study after the attainment of the Ph.D. or Sc.D. degree.

Postdoctoral fellowships will be awarded in a national competition administered by the National Research Council (NRC) on behalf of the Ford Foundation. The awards will be made to individuals who, in the judgment of the review panels, have demonstrated superior academic achievement, are committed to a career in teaching and research at the college or university level, show promise of future achievement as scholars and teachers, and are well prepared to use diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students.

Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships support the writing-up of already completed research. The fellowship is awarded to scholars in the earlier stages of their careers, when they frequently lack the time and resources to develop their research for publication.  Scholars with a Ph.D. in hand for no more than ten years (from the application deadline) are eligible to apply. A maximum of eight Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded annually.

Candidates must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Candidates are evaluated on the basis of scholarly excellence, the quality and originality of project design, and active commitment to helping women and girls through service in their communities, professions, or fields of research.

Summer/Short-Term Research Publication Grants fund women college and university faculty and independent researchers to prepare research for publication. The grants are intended for tenure-track, part-time, or temporary faculty or new or established scholars and researchers at universities. Time must be available for eight consecutive weeks of final writing, editing, and responding to issues raised in critical reviews. Funds cannot be used for undertaking research. Applicants must have received their doctorates by the application deadline. Scholars with strong publishing records should seek other funding.

American Fellowships support women scholars who are completing dissertations, planning research leave from accredited institutions, or preparing research for publication. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Candidates are evaluated on the basis of scholarly excellence; quality and originality of project design; and active commitment to helping women and girls through service in their communities, professions, or fields of research.

Postdoctoral Research Leave Fellowships offer funding for women in tenure-track faculty positions in support of their earning tenure and further promotions by enabling them to spend a year pursuing independent research.

Please note that any additional funds received in additon to the AAUW award must be less than the amount of the AAUW award, per the terms of their acceptance agreement for fellows.

The AAS administers a program for AAS-member authors who require subventions to ensure publication of their first books. The AAS will award up to $15,000 in subventions each year with individual awards in the range of $1,000 to $3,000. Funded through the AAS Development Fund, these subventions will be awarded on a competitive basis to first-time book authors who have already secured provisional contracts from established academic presses. Subventions will be paid directly to the press.

There are two annual deadlines, MARCH 1 and SEPTEMBER 1.

Grants for Activities Aimed at Introducing and Promoting Catalan Literature and Scholarly Works Abroad

The Institut Ramon Llull awards grants for activities aimed at introducing and promoting Catalan literature abroad and taking place during the grant-award year.

Types of Activities

The Loeb Classical Library Foundation will award grants to qualified scholars to support research, publication, and other projects in the area of classical studies during the academic year 2012-2013. Grants will normally range from $1,000 to $35,000 and may occasionally exceed that limit in the case of unusually interesting and promising projects. Three years must elapse after receiving an LCLF grant for sabbatical replacement before applying again for one. From time to time a much larger grant may be available, as funding permits, to support a major project. Applicants must have faculty or faculty emeritus status at the time of application and during the entire time covered by the grant.
