Sabbatical Edition, 2021
 
This newsletter includes notable sabbatical opportunities that support a broad array of research interests. Additional sabbatical opportunities cater to specific research topics, require residency, do not offer stipends, or allow for only brief stays. If you have interest in these additional opportunities, please contact Paige Belisle with a brief summary of your intended sabbatical and a request for a customized list or meeting. Please note that deadlines often fall at least a year prior to your leave start date. Most deadlines fall between September and December.

    FAQs
     
    Apart from the opportunities included in this list, are there other awards available to fund my sabbatical leave? 
     
    Yes. This newsletter includes notable opportunities that support a broad range of research interests. There are other sabbatical opportunities that cater to specific research topics, do not offer stipends, or allow for only brief stays. If you have interest in these additional opportunities, please contact Paige Belisle with a brief summary of your intended sabbatical and a request for a customized list or a one-on-one meeting.
     
    When should I start looking and applying for sabbatical funding?

    Deadlines often fall at least a year prior to the start date of a sabbatical leave. For example, if your sabbatical leave is scheduled for academic year 2022/23, you will need to select your possible fellowship opportunities in the summer/early fall of 2021. Most deadlines fall between August and December.

    What support services does Research Development offer to faculty looking for sabbatical funding?
     
    We perform customized funding searches to identify opportunities that best complement your sabbatical plans. We also offer advice on strategies for submitting competitive proposals and will review your proposal against sponsor review criteria. For more information on Research Development support services, please see our website.
     
    Can I find sabbatical funding for one semester or less?
     
    Yes. Some sabbatical funders will only support faculty for an entire academic year leave; however, others give faculty the option of receiving funding for one semester or for a specific number of months. Be sure to read the sponsor's award information or contact Research Development for a tailored funding search based on your needs.
     
    I have obligations that require that I remain in the Cambridge area during my sabbatical. Are non-residential or Cambridge-based opportunities available?
     
    Yes. The most notable "flexible" sabbatical funders are the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Council of Learned Societies. Alternatively, another major Cambridge-based residential option is the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard University. Please see the curated list below for additional opportunities.
     
    I am a Junior Faculty member: am I eligible to apply for sabbatical funding?
     
    Yes. Although some programs are directed toward mid- to senior-level faculty, most sponsors open competitions to all tenured and tenure-track faculty. Some programs also cater to junior faculty specifically. 

    If I receive two or more sabbatical awards, what are my options?
     
    This highly depends upon the awards you receive. In all cases, we strongly recommend consulting with your Department Chair and your Divisional Dean, who can best advise you on the optimal strategy for approaching this important decision. For clarification on what specific sponsors will allow, please contact Paige Belisle.

    • The Kaleta A. Doolin Foundation Fellowship: The Kaleta A. Doolin Foundation Fellowship supports projects that radically advance feminist perspectives and equal representation in the canon of art history. The Kaleta A.

    • Critical Race Theory and Visual Culture Fellowship: The emergence of critical race theory in legal scholarship and beyond demonstrated the systemic racism that structures American society based on white privilege and the legacy of white supremacy.

    foreign nationals who have been living in the United States or its jurisdictions for at least the three years prior to the application deadline.

     

    This program supports individual scholars pursuing interpretive research projects that require digital expression and digital publication. To be considered under this opportunity, an applicant’s plans for digital publication must be integral to the project’s research goals. That is, the project must be conceived as digital because the research topics being addressed and methods applied demand presentation beyond traditional print publication. Competitive submissions embody exceptional research, rigorous analysis, and clearly articulate a project’s value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both.

    All projects must be interpretive. That is, projects must advance a scholarly argument through digital means and tools. Stand-alone databases, documentary films, podcasts, and other projects that lack an explicit interpretive argument are not eligible. 

     

    NEH - Mellon Fellowships provide recipients time to conduct research and prepare digital publications. Successful projects will likely incorporate images, video, audio, and/or other multimedia materials or flexible reading pathways that could not be included in traditionally published books, as well as an active distribution plan. Anticipated products must be published in digital form and include, but are not limited to, monographs, peer-reviewed articles, websites, virtual exhibitions, translations with annotations or a critical apparatus, or critical editions.

It does so by offering grants to individual authors for research, writing, travel, and other activities leading to publication. Writers with or without an academic affiliation may apply, and no advanced degree is required. The program is intended both to encourage non-academic writers to deepen their engagement with the humanities by strengthening the research underlying their books and to encourage academic writers in the humanities to communicate the significance of their research to the broadest possible range of readers. NEH especially encourages applications to this program from independent writers, researchers, scholars, and journalists.

    Science and Technology Studies (STS) is an interdisciplinary field of research that uses historical, philosophical, and social scientific methods to investigate STEM theory and practice. It may focus on history and socio-cultural formation, philosophical underpinnings, or the impacts of science and technology on broader societal concerns including quality of life, ethics, and culture. STS researchers strive to understand the research assumptions of STEM fields, and the co-production of STEM and society, meaning the many ways in which cultural, economic, historical, social and political contexts influence developments in STEM, and how those developments reciprocally influence these contexts. The STS program supports proposals across the broad spectrum of STS research areas, topics, and approaches. They include, but are not limited to:
    1. Studies of societal aspects of an emerging technology such as artificial intelligence, robotics, big data analysis, neuroscience, synthetic biology, nanotechnology, and quantum technologies (computers, sensors, and encryption).
    2. Research on the social organization of scientific work (e.g., organizations, groups, and collaborations) and how this shapes the knowledge that gets produced and its intellectual and social impacts.
    3. Issues relating science and engineering to broader societal concerns including ethics, policy, governance, equity, race and gender, inclusion, trust, reliability, risk and uncertainty, sustainability, user-centeredness, and globalization.
    4. Research on the historical and conceptual foundations of any of the natural, social, or formal sciences including its nature and fundamentals, its origins, or its place in modern politics, culture, and society.
    5. Mixed methods (qualitative and quantitative) approaches, and approaches that integrate traditional STS perspectives (historical, philosophical, social scientific) with each other or with innovative perspectives from the arts or humanities.
    6. Interdisciplinary projects on topics of broad societal concern that engage in integrative collaborative research involving at least one STS expert and one in some other STEM field with prospective outcomes that serve to advance both fields.
    Scholars Awards provide up to full-time release for an academic year and a summer to conduct research. This time can be distributed over two or more years. In exceptional circumstances, longer releases can be requested. 
     
    Please Note: This opportunity requires OSP review. Full proposals must be sent to OSP for review at least 5 business day prior to the sponsor deadline.

    New America's Fellows Program invests in thinkers--journalists, scholars, filmmakers, and public policy analysts--who offer inventive perspectives on the major challenges facing our society. Fellows advance big ideas through research, reporting, analysis, and storytelling. The big idea can be a sweeping reframing of a familiar subject through new research or a new combination of existing research; a masterful presentation of a case study that advances our understanding of a timeless American theme or stress fracture; an innovative new media or academic project to disseminate knowledge about a shared challenge; or a bold policy prescription for moving domestic and international issues forward. The goal in the Fellows Program is to find bold, impactful thinkers and to fund them for a year, long enough so that they can make progress in writing a book, develop a series of articles, work on a documentary, or work on another project that would be accessible to a broad audience and long enough to be able to build a real community among the fellows. Fellows typically remain in their jobs and home city, but come together for three cohort gatherings, each lasting ~3 days and held in Washington, DC or NYC.

    The Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study awards 10-15 residential Faculty Fellowships annually to researchers whose work addresses the Institute’s yearly Research Theme. During the 2022-2023 academic year, the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study is sponsoring research projects that investigate the concept of The Public from many disciplines and applications. The project will bring together humanists, scientists, social scientists, legal scholars, and artists to examine how we organize individuals, political and scientific institutions, cultural resources, and informational structures into public, private, and expert domains. Potential research proposal topics on The Public may address, but are not limited to:

    • Public Health: How can we make health systems that better reflect the diversity of the populations they are meant to serve? How can scientists better inform debates about what governments mandate from a public health perspective? What research trends now will inform the future of public-facing sciences?
    • Environmental Science and Humanities: What role can public institutions play in addressing large-scale collective action problems involving the natural world? Taking into account our best science, what detrimental environmental trends are best addressed by public interventions vs. private or individual interventions?
    • Technology and Engineering: How has the emergence and spread of social media transformed the conception of the public sphere? How might developments in data analysis and surveillance challenge individuals’ relationships with governments and private entities? As engineering gets more and more advanced, what role do engineers have in helping the public understand the products they create? What can research show us about the future of digital public life?
    • Political Science and Law: What is “the public” and how many publics are there? What are the barriers to enter/exit a public sphere? What moral obligations do political institutions have to create or remove such barriers? What can research show us about the future of civic life in different regional contexts and the future of public service careers?
    • Architecture / Urban Planning: What public spaces belong in modern cities and how should they be designed and maintained? How should we understand infrastructure in the 21st century?
    • Philosophy and Social Theory: Do large groups have rights, or are rights only held by individuals? What does it mean for evidence or reasons to be public? Does it matter for standards of rationality if we have reasons that cannot be widely shared? How should political, educational, and economic institutions balance meritocratic, egalitarian, and democratic values?
    • History and Literature: How have our concepts of what characterizes the public realm developed over time or changed in light of recent disruptions? What role have public intellectuals had in the past, and how do they compare to public-facing intellectuals of the present? How do literature and history shed light on the difficulties individuals face entering or exiting public life?
    • Religion: How should we understand institutional disaffiliation trends among religions, accelerated by recent crises? What duties do we have to create or limit religious ideas in the public sphere? To what extent is religion a common good, and how does it compete with other common goods? What should public theology look like going forward?
    • Arts and Culture: How do arts and culture help us understand what it is to be a unified or disunified public, or help us understand the extent to which arts and culture have duties to the public? The NDIAS is also interested in supporting creative works—fiction writing, visual arts, musical composition, etc.—that explore or address issues related to the theme.
