Frederick Burkhardt Residential Fellowships for Recently Tenured Scholars

Website: www.acls.org/grants/Default.aspx?id=480&linkidentifier=id&itemid=480
Application deadline: the deadline of October 3, 2007 has passed.  Please consult the Website  for updated information on the next cycle.

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. This year's successful applicants may take up the fellowship in 2008-2009 or in either of the succeeding two academic years, but candidates must commit themselves firmly to their preferred year and residential center on their completed applications. Candidates must also commit themselves to relocating as needed in order to be in residence for the tenure of the fellowship.

ACLS will award up to nine Burkhardt Fellowships, depending on the availability of funds, in this competition year. Each fellowship carries a stipend of $75,000.
