-- OBJECTIVES: The fellowship is designed to offer research opportunities both to members of humanities departments as traditionally defined and to other scholars seriously interested in humanistic issues. The National Foundation for the Arts and Humanities defines the humanities as including, but not limited to: history, philosophy, languages, literature, linguistics, archeology, jurisprudence, history and criticism of the arts, ethics, comparative religion, and those aspects of the social sciences employing historical or philosophical approaches (including social and cultural anthropology, sociology, political theory, international relations, and other subjects concerned with questions of values).

-- ELIGIBILITY: Faculty fellowships are awarded across the spectrum of academic ranks (assistant, associate and full professor). Applicants with Ph.Ds awarded on or before September 2005 are eligible for the 2008-09 competition. Junior fellowships are for scholars who will be at least three (and no more than ten) years beyond receipt of the Ph.D. by the start of their prospective fellowship year. Senior fellowships are for established scholars who are more than ten years beyond receipt of their Ph.D.

-- FUNDING: Fellows are awarded stipends of up to $60,000 for the academic year, as well as a housing and moving allowance of up to $15,000, dependent on need. Applicants are expected to seek supplementary funding in the form of external grants or sabbatical or other contributions from home institutions.
