Title: Funding Opportunity: Newberry Library Fellowships in the Humanities
Body: From http://www.newberry.org/research/felshp/fellowshome.html Fellowships at the Newberry Library provide assistance to researchers who wish to use our collections, but who cannot finance a visit on their own. Fellowships at the Newberry Library are of two types: short-term fellowships with terms of one week to two months and long-term fellowships of six to eleven months. Short-term fellowships are generally restricted to individuals from outside the metropolitan Chicago area and are primarily intended to assist researchers with a need to examine specific items in the Library's collection. Long-term fellowships are generally available without regard to an applicant's place of residence and are intended to support significant works of scholarship that draw on the Library's strengths. Long-Term Fellowships Application deadline: January 10, 2006 (unless otherwise noted) Long-term fellowships are available to post-doctoral scholars for periods of six to eleven months. Applicants for post-doctoral awards must hold the Ph.D. at the time of application. These grants support individual research and promote serious intellectual exchange through active participation in the Library's scholarly activities, including a biweekly fellows' seminar. The stipend for these fellowships is up to $40,000 unless specified under the award description. Applicants may combine these fellowship awards with sabbatical or other stipendiary support. Scholars may apply for any of the long-term fellowships using the same application. Short-Term Fellowships Application Deadline: March 1, 2006 (unless otherwise noted) Short-term fellowships are generally restricted to post-doctoral scholars or Ph.D. candidates from outside of the Chicago area who have a specific need for Newberry collections; some fellowships, however, are open to other categories of applicants and Chicago residents. Please read the following descriptions carefully for the eligibility restrictions on particular fellowships. The tenure of short-term fellowships varies from one week to two months, unless otherwise noted under the award description. A majority of fellowships will be for one month or less. Unless otherwise noted, the amount of the award is $1200 per month, pro-rated for shorter periods. For more information, visit http://www.newberry.org/research/felshp/fellowshome.html .
