The Visiting Scholars Program is designed to stimulate and support research conducted by younger public policy analysts, humanists, and social scientists who show promise of becoming leaders in their field, especially those who work on multidisciplinary topics. The Program offers opportunities for them to carry out their individual research as well as to collaborate with Academy Fellows on shared scholarly or policy-related interests.
Invites research applications in all disciplines of the humanities and humanities-related social sciences. The fellowships are intended as salary replacement to help scholars devote six to twelve continuous months to full-time research and writing.
Deadline: September
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. The fellowships are intended to provide time and resources to enable these faculty members to conduct their research under optimal conditions.
These awards support collaborative research in the humanities and related social sciences.
The aim of this fellowship program is to offer small teams of two or more scholars the opportunity to collaborate intensively on a single, substantive project. The fellowship supports projects that aim to produce a tangible research product (such as joint print or web publications) for which two or more collaborators will take credit.
Supports digitally based research projects in all disciplines of the humanities and humanities-related social sciences. Fellowship tenure may be one continuous year or two semesters taken over two years, but candidates must commit themselves firmly to their preferred time frame on their completed applications.
These fellowships support long-term, unusually ambitious projects in the humanities and related social sciences. Burkhardt Fellowships are intended to support an academic year (normally nine months) of residence at any one of the national residential research centers participating in the program. Such an environment, beyond providing free time, encourages exchanges across disciplinary lines that can be especially helpful to deepening and expanding the significance of projects in the humanities and related social sciences. Candidates must also commit themselves to relocate as needed in order to be in residence for the tenure of the fellowship. The ultimate goal of the project should be a major piece of scholarly work by the applicant.
The fellowship program provides psychologists with an invaluable public policy learning experience, to contribute to the more effective use of psychological knowledge in government and to broaden awareness about the value of psychology-government interaction among psychologists and within the federal government. Fellows spend one year working on the staff of a member of Congress or congressional committee.
The foundation's grants provide support for research on Chinese studies in the humanities and social sciences.
Interdisciplinary projects that reflect on historical, theoretical, and global understandings of risk as a concept and a reality that lies at the heart of the humanities and the arts.
The council seeks to bridge the gap between analysis and action in foreign policy by inviting individuals from the academic, business, government, media, and religious communities to engage in a variety of policy studies and actively participate in policymaking. The distinctive character of the program lies in the contrasting experiences it provides at the juncture of policy research and policy formulation. Academic and other professionals from the private sector spend fellowship tenures in public service or in a policy-making setting, while government officials have the opportunity to study foreign policy issues in a scholarly atmosphere free from operational pressure.
The primary focus of the program is contemporary political, economic, or social change in the Asia-Pacific region (including Northeast, Southeast, and South Asia), or topics in international relations and international political economy.
Howard Fellowships are intended primarily to provide artists, scholars, and writers with time to complete their work. They are not intended for publication subsidies, for equipment purchase, for preparation of exhibits, or to support institutional programs.
