  • NEH Public Scholar Program

    8 December 2016

    The National Endowment for the Humanities seeks applications to its “Public Scholar Program” for grants to support well-researched books in the humanities intended to reach a broad readership. The Public Scholar Program aims to encourage scholarship that will be of broad interest and have lasting impact. Such scholarship might present a narrative history, tell the stories of important individuals, analyze significant texts, provide a synthesis of ideas, revive interest in a neglected subject, or examine the latest thinking on a topic. Books supported by this program must be grounded in humanities research and scholarship.

    The Public Scholar Program provides a stipend of $4,200 per full-time month for continuous full- or part-time work over a period of six to twelve months, beginning as early as September 1, 2017, but not later than September 1, 2018. (The maximum stipend is $50,400 for a twelve-month period. Recipients who work full-time on their projects must forgo other major activities, including teaching.)

    Interested applicants can contact Christopher Tassava in the Office of Corporate & Foundation Relations for further information about the program and about submitting applications by the deadline of Wednesday, February 1, 2017.

  • Periclean Faculty Leadership Program

    8 December 2016

    Project Pericles invites applications from Carleton faculty to its “Periclean Faculty Leaders” program, which will identify champions of civic engagement in the classroom, on the campus, and in the community. The PFL program will encourage faculty members in a wide variety of disciplines to create and teach courses that address issues of social concern, enrich curriculum, and enhance student social interest and involvement. Periclean Faculty Leaders – either or or two for each participating college – will also organize campus-wide activities and/or prepare an academic paper or research project. Faculty in disciplines in which civic engagement is not traditionally a focus should be encouraged to apply.  The PFL program is supported by the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations with additional support from the Eugene M. Lang Foundation.

    Interested faculty members can use the attached materials to prepare applications that can be submitted as a package by Tuesday, February 21, 2017. Award announcements will be made in April 2017.

  • Spencer Foundation Midcareer Grant Program

    12 May 2016

    The Spencer Foundation seeks applications to its Midcareer Grant Program, which affords scholars who between seven and twenty years from their doctorate an opportunity to spend one year learning about a new topic or discipline that will help them advance their work on a problem or puzzle of lasting significance in their research. The Foundation plans to support up to five midcareer scholars in this round with grants of up to $150,000 each.

    Applicants will be asked to center their request around the clear articulation and exploration of an important problem, or set of problems, of education that is well-aligned with their core interests and past scholarship. Applicants will also be asked to map the outer edges of what they have come to know through their earlier research and then articulate how they will move into what they do not yet know but hope to learn through a targeted midcareer program of study. In addition, applicants will be asked to fully describe how the acquisition of new tools or perspectives enriches their understanding of that problem and to present a well-thought out plan for acquiring them.

    The deadline for proposal submissions to this program is 4:00pm CDT on Tuesday, September 13, 2016.

    For more information, contact Christopher Tassava (ctassava or x5833) or consult the Foundation’s program webpage.

  • Roman J. Witt Residency in art & design at the University of Michigan

    20 November 2015

    The Roman J. Witt Residency Program supports the production of new work with assistance from the Stamps School community. The program awards one residency per academic year for a visiting artist/designer to work at the school to develop a new work in collaboration with students and faculty. A centerpiece of the residency is the open studio, a centrally located studio space that is part of the school’s main gallery where the resident carries out work in a public domain. This public visibility of the artist/designer’s process is intended as a teaching tool for the school as a whole. The residency is expected to culminate in the realization of the proposed work, as well as a presentation that summarizes the process and work accomplished.

    The Witt Residency is open to both established and emerging artists/designers who value collaboration, have good social and communication skills, and are interested in generating creative partnerships across disciplines. Witt Residents receive an honorarium of $20,000 for up to twelve weeks in residence served over an academic year. There is flexibility in how the time in residence is apportioned. In addition to the honorarium, residents will be provided with housing, studio space, and up to $5,000 funding support for project materials.

    Applications are due online by January 15, 2016.
