June 22nd, 2009Mellon New Directions Fellowships
The internal competition for the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation New Directions Fellowships has been posted.
Mellon New Directions fellowships support exceptional faculty members in the humanities and humanistic social sciences who received doctorates within the last 5 to 15 years and whose research interests call for formal training outside of their own disciplines.
New Directions Fellowships are meant to be longer-term investments in scholars' intellectual range and productivity. They cover salary for an academic year and two summers (including release time from teaching, if required). The university will receive a subvention of up to $10,000 so it can adjust for the fellows' reduced teaching schedules and other plans associated with their awards. Fellows who complete the award are eligible to apply for supplemental funding to make use of their new scholarly training.
Mellon fellowships ask the University to nominate two people to apply. The internal competition deadline is July 20th; the Mellon deadline is September 18.
