Eligibility: 
Eligibility Applicants need not be citizens of the United States; however, they must be candidates for the doctoral degree at a graduate school within the United States.

Frederick Burkhardt Residential Fellowships for Recently Tenured Scholars

Submitted by caseldin on Wed, 11/04/2009 - 2:24pm
Deadline: 
09/30/2010

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.

Eligibility: 
The program is open to recently tenured humanists - scholars who will have begun their first tenured contracts by the application deadline but began their first tenured contracts no earlier than the fall 2005 semester or quarter. An applicant must be employed in a tenured position at a degree-granting academic institution in the United States, remaining so for the duration of the fellowship. U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is not required, and previous supported research leaves do not affect eligibility for the Burkhardt Fellowship. Proposals should show evidence of significant preliminary work already completed, and a plan of work, typically in the five-year range, to be carried out. Assurance will be required from the administrative leadership of the scholar's home institution (dean, provost, president, or other appropriate person) that the applicant is an especially promising member of its humanities faculty, and that the institution is prepared to make its own contributions - beyond providing normal fringe benefits during the fellowship year - to assist the scholar in bringing the project to completion.
