EXTERNAL FELLOWSHIP AND SELECTED INSTITUTIONAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FORHUMANITIES and HUMANITIES-ORIENTED SOCIAL SCIENCES SCHOLARS

This list is intended to help you determine which agencies might fund your research, find more information by visiting their websites, and use what you learn to develop a personal external funding list that will help you stay on task as you prepare your external funding applications.

To navigate, keep this document in layout view, scroll to the table of contents, then click on the page number of the agency or program in which you’re interested. This will take you to the brief description of the opportunity. If you then wish to learn more, click on the agency’s website address (URL) or copy the URL, paste it into the address line of your web browser, and type return. Always check agency websites for current deadlines and to read application instructions to ensure you are eligible and the fellowship or grant will answer your needs before starting an application.

Although this document focuses largely on fellowships for individual work, it includes the institutional grants and fellowships for which our constituent faculty most often apply. You can submit individual fellowship and grant applications entirely on your own or though the Humanities Grant Development Office (HGDO). Institutional proposals (those requiring submission by a 501(c)3 non-profit organization) must be submitted on your behalf by the University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc. (KUCR) or KU Endowment Association (KUEA), depending on the agency and the nature of the project. Applications to federal agencies and those which involve human studies research must be submitted through KUCR.

Be prepared to make a firm commitment of your time if you hope to develop a competitive fellowship or grant proposal. A simple individual fellowship or small grant application can be prepared in as little as six weeks with focused effort. That is not the case for institutional grant proposals. Because of their complexity, the frequent need to interface with agency program officers, and the necessity for institutional approval and submission it is critical to begin working on institutional proposals at least four months prior to the agency's deadline. If you have collaborators, especially at other institutions, double the length of your grant proposal development timeline to accommodate the required interfaces and agreements between institutions and among collaborators. Work from the agency's most recent guidelines and aim for the last known deadline, then tweak materials as may be necessary after the current year's guidelines are posted. HGDO staff will be glad work with you to create a realistic proposal development timeline and help you prepare and submit your external applications, whether directly or through KUCR or KUEA.

As you plan, please keep in mind that the internal deadline to submit all final materials to the HGDO is five (5) working days prior to the agency’s deadline. The deadline to submit final drafts for comments to help you finalize your application, is ten (10) working days prior to the agency's deadline. To take full advantage our services, you need to begin working with us on fellowships a minimum of six weeks prior to the agency's deadline. The timeline for institutional grants is much longer, as noted above. KUCR also has an internal deadline of five (5) working days for all final application materials. HGDO can serve as your interface with KUCR, if you begin working with us early enough to allow us to provide this service.

This list is not exhaustive. To search for more targeted funding, go to http://pivot.cos.com, the most comprehensive online database of funding sources available. Access is free to KU scholars (including students) and you can access Pivot from any KU computer or from your computer at home with your KU log in and target your search to your specific needs, then talk with us about the sources in which you are interested. We are glad to assist with any external funding applications by KU scholars.

ACLS does not fund creative work (e.g., novels or films), textbooks, straightforward

1

translation, or pedagogical projects. Summaries of ACLS competitions are given below and the URL provides an overview of all the competitions.URL: http://www.acls.org/programs/comps/

ACLS Fellowships (individual)The ACLS invites research applications in all disciplines of the humanities and humanities-related social sciences. ACLS does not fund creative work (e.g., novels or films), textbooks, straightforward translation, or pedagogical projects. The ACLS Fellowship program includes a joint fellowship with the New York Public Library, as well as named awards made possible by generous donations to ACLS. The ACLS Fellowships are intended as salary replacement to help scholars devote six to twelve continuous months to full-time research and writing. Most ACLS Fellowships are portable and are tenable at the fellow’s home institution, abroad, or at another appropriate site for research, although the International Fellowships require residency abroad. In addition to the regular ACLS Fellowship, named fellowships include the following: ACLS/Carl and Betty Pforzheimer Fellowship in English and American literature ; ACLS/Donald J. Munro Centennial Fellowship in Chinese arts and letters ; ACLS/Frederic Wakeman Fellowship for research in modern Chinese history ; ACLS/NEH International and Area Studies Fellowship ; ACLS/Oscar Handlin Fellowship for archival research in US history ; McClary-Walser/ACLS Fellowship in music studies .The stipend for these ACLS Fellowships is set at three levels based on academic rank: up to $40,000 for Assistant Professor, up to $50,000 for Associate Professor, and up to $70,000 for full Professor.

ACLS Frederick Burkhardt Residential Fellowships for Recently Tenured ScholarsBurkhardt Fellowships are 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 2013 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. US citizenship or permanent residency is not required, and previous supported research leaves do not affect eligibility for the Burkhardt Fellowship. This is a residential fellowship; scholars who are unable to commit to a nine-month residence at one of the 13 participating centers should not apply. These fellowships support long-term, unusually ambitious projects in the humanities and related social sciences. The ultimate goal of the project should be a major piece of scholarly work by the applicant. Amount: $95,000 plus funds for research costs and related scholarly activities up to $7,500 and relocation costs up to $3,000.URL: http://www.acls.org/programs/burkhardt_residential_centers/Deadline: September 27

ACLS Collaborative Research Fellowship (institutional)This program supports collaborative research in the humanities and humanities-related social sciences. A collaborative project is constituted of at least two scholars who are each seeking salary-replacement stipends for six to twelve continuous months of supported research leave to pursue full-time collaborative research. To be eligible, collaborating scholars both must have had the PhD conferred prior to the application deadline in addition to being a US citizen or having permanent resident status. The project coordinator must have an appointment at a US-based institution of higher education; collaborators may be at institutions outside the US or may be independent scholars. All collaborators must hold a PhD or its equivalent in publications and professional experience at the time of application. This award has a stipend of up to $60,000 and

2

provides up to $21,000 toward additional project costs. The project must be carried out within 24 months between July 1 2018 and September 1 2020 and the entirety of the project must not exceed $201,000.URL: http://www.acls.org/programs/collaborative/Deadline: September 27

Luce/ACLS Program in Religion, Journalism & International Affairs Grants for Universities (individual)Luce/ACLS RJIA Fellowships support scholars in the humanities and related social sciences pursuing research on any aspect of religion in international contexts with a desire to connect their specialist knowledge with journalists and media practitioners. The ultimate goal of the research should be a significant piece of scholarly work by the applicant and concrete steps to engage journalistic and media audiences. This fellowship offers a $55,000 stipend plus up to $3,000 for research costs and related scholarly activities. Awardees electing to take up residencies at partnering institutions are eligible for up to $10,000 to help defray the costs of relocation and residency. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents by the application deadline.URL: https://www.acls.org/programs/Luce-ACLS-fellowships/ Deadline: October 25

ACLS Comparative Perspectives on Chinese Culture and Society (institutional)These grants for collaborative work in China studies fund projects in the humanities and relate social sciences that adopt an explicitly cross-cultural or comparative perspective.

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. They must address significant humanities themes likely to be of broad interest and must be written in an accessible style. Making use of primary and/or secondary sources, they should open up important and appealing subjects for wider audiences.
