\n

ACLS continues to be the leading private institution supporting scholars in the humanities and related social sciences at the doctoral and postdoctoral levels.<\/p>\n

Fellows and grantees in all programs are selected by committees of scholars appointed for this purpose.<\/p>\n

The current competition offers fellowships and grants in 14 programs (see program descriptions<\/a>). With the exception of the New Faculty Fellows program and the Public Fellows program, an individual may apply to as many fellowship and grant programs as are suitable. However, not more than one ACLS or ACLS-joint award may normally be accepted in any one competition year.<\/p>\n

Information on the current competitions is now available (see program descriptions<\/a>).<\/p>\n

For the purpose of these competitions, the humanities and related social sciences include but are not limited to American studies; anthropology; archaeology; art and architectural history; classics; economics; film; geography; history; languages and literatures; legal studies; linguistics; musicology; philosophy; political science; psychology (excluding clinical or counseling psychology); religious studies; rhetoric, communication, and media studies; sociology; and theater, dance, and performance studies. Proposals in the social science fields listed above are eligible only if they employ predominantly humanistic approaches (e.g., economic history, law and literature, political philosophy, history of psychology). Proposals in interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary studies are welcome, as are proposals focused on any geographic region or on any cultural or linguistic group.<\/p>\n

2012-2014 Funding Opportunities<\/h3>\n

Bringing Theory to Practice’s\u00a0full 2012-2014 RFP can be viewed here<\/a> and answers to frequently asked questions may be found here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Proposals are requested for projects during 2012-2014 that will promote engaged learning, civic development and engagement, and psychosocial well-being of college and university students. We are especially interested in efforts that will enable students to have transformational educational experiences, and for institutions to transform and sustain their priorities and practices.<\/p>\n

Bringing Theory to Practice (BTtoP) seeks to support institutions that are at various stages of this work, and our three grant categories recognize the progression from small seminars to large demonstration projects. In this latter category we anticipate, but do not require, that the institution has already taken steps made possible by support from BTtoP.<\/p>\n

Seminar Grants<\/h4>\n

Seminar Grants up to $1,000 are available for institutions to bring together diverse members of the campus community for meaningful conversations which will result in institutional actions. Matching support is not required. Proposals are accepted on quarterly deadlines between 2012-2014 (June 15, September 15, December 15, and March 15) and awards are announced 2 weeks after each deadline.<\/p>\n

Program Development Grants<\/h4>\n

Program Development Grants up to $10,000 are available for institutions to enhance or extend a program which is consistent with our objectives. Institutional matching support is required. Grants may be renewable.

Demonstration Site Grants<\/h4>\n

Grants up to $75,000, distributed over two years, are available for institutions proposing to demonstrate the outcomes of building institutional capacity for a program of work consistent with our purpose. Institutional matching support is required. In the third category, we anticipate but do not require that the institution has already taken steps made possible by support from BTtoP. Proposals are due by June 15, 2012, and awards are announced by July 15, 2012.<\/p>\n

The fellowship is open to all scholars, national and international, who meet application terms (see Guidelines below; international scholars, please note final paragraph).<\/p>\n

The programs of the Penn Humanities Forum are conceived through yearly topics that invite broad interdisciplinary collaboration. For the 2013-2014 academic year, we have set Violence as the theme. Humanists and those in related fields (e.g., anthropology, history of science) are invited to submit research proposals on any aspect of this topic. Exclusions are projects in social science disciplines, educational curriculum building, and work by performing artists (n.b., scholars of performance are eligible). The PhD is the only eligible terminal degree.<\/p>\n

Fellows teach one undergraduate course in addition to conducting their research. The fellowship stipend is $46,500. Health insurance is provided for fellows but not for family and dependents.

<\/i><\/i><\/i><\/span>Wenner-Gren Foundation Post-Ph.D. Research Grants<\/div>
\n

Post-Ph.D. Research Grants are awarded to individuals holding a Ph.D. or equivalent degree to support individual research projects. The program contributes to the Foundation’s overall mission to support basic research in anthropology and to ensure that the discipline continues to be a source of vibrant and significant work that furthers our understanding of humanity’s cultural and biological origins, development, and variation. The Foundation supports research that demonstrates a clear link to anthropological theory and debates, and promises to make a solid contribution to advancing these ideas. There is no preference for any methodology, research location, or subfield. The Foundation particularly welcomes proposals that employ a comparative perspective, can generate innovative approaches or ideas, and\/or integrate two or more subfields.<\/p>\n

Applicants applying for a Post-Ph.D. Research Grant may also chose to be considered simultaneously for the Osmundsen Initiative.<\/p>\n

Please note that the maximum amount of the Post-Ph.D. Research Grant has been changed. Post-Ph.D. Research Grants provide a maximum of US $20,000 and the Osmundsen Initiative supplement provides up to an additional $5,000 for a maximum grant of US $25,000.<\/p>\n

Grants are for research expenses. Under special circumstances grants can be renewed to support longer-term research projects. Applicants can apply regardless of institutional affiliation, country of residence, or nationality. There is no time limit on the duration of the grant and funding may be requested to cover distinct research phases (for example, two summers) if this is part of the research design. Application deadlines are\u00a0May 1 and November 1.<\/strong>\u00a0Final decisions are made six months later.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/i><\/i><\/span>Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships<\/div>
\n

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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

By providing funds for scholars to devote themselves full-time to writing, the Foundation aims to enable a new generation of scholars to publish significant works that will impact the development of anthropology. The program contributes to the Foundation’s overall mission to support basic research in anthropology and to ensure that the discipline continues to be a source of vibrant and significant work that furthers our understanding of humanity’s cultural and biological origins, development, and variation. The Foundation supports research that demonstrates a clear link to anthropological theory and debates, and promises to make a solid contribution to advancing these ideas. There is no preference for any methodology, research location, or subfield. The Foundation particularly welcomes proposals that employ a comparative perspective, can generate innovative approaches or ideas, and\/or integrate two or more subfields.<\/p>\n

Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships are nonrenewable, and provide US $40,000 of financial support for twelve months of continuous full-time writing. Applicants requesting shorter time periods will receive a pro-rated award as appropriate (e.g., a six-month project would be awarded $20,000). Applicants can apply regardless of institutional affiliation, country of residence, or nationality. Application deadlines are\u00a0May 1 and November 1.<\/strong>\u00a0Final decisions are made six months later.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/i><\/i><\/span>John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship<\/div>
\n

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.<\/p>\n

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. \u00a0Candidates must apply to the Guggenheim Foundation in order to be considered in either of these competitions.<\/p>\n

The Foundation receives between 3,500 and 4,000 applications each year. \u00a0Although no one who applies is guaranteed success in the competition, there is no prescreening: \u00a0all applications are reviewed. \u00a0Approximately 220 Fellowships are awarded each year.<\/p>\n

During the rigorous selection process, applicants will first be pooled with others working in the same field, and examined by experts in that field: the work of artists will be reviewed by artists, that of scientists by scientists, that of historians by historians, and so on. The Foundation has a network of several hundred advisers, who either meet at the Foundation offices to look at applicants’ work, or receive application materials to read offsite. \u00a0These advisers, all of whom are themselves former Guggenheim Fellows, then submit reports critiquing and ranking the applications in their respective fields. \u00a0Their recommendations are then forwarded to and weighed by a Committee of Selection, which then determines the number of awards to be made in each area. \u00a0Occasionally, no application in a given area is considered strong enough to merit a Fellowship.<\/p>\n

The Committee of Selection then forwards its recommendations to the Board of Trustees for final approval. \u00a0The successful candidates in the United States and Canada competition are announced in early April; those in the Latin America and Caribbean competition, in early June.<\/p>\n

We guarantee our advisors and Committee of Selection members, as well as those who submit letters of reference, absolute confidentiality. \u00a0Therefore, under no circumstances will the reasons for the rejection of an application be provided.<\/p>\n

Application deadline: September 19, 2013.<\/strong><\/p>\n
