ACLS Fellowships
Application Deadline: September 30, 2005
Amount: $50,000
The ACLS fellowships are intended as salary replacement and may be held concurrently with other fellowships and grants, as well as any sabbatical pay to reach that goal.
The fellowship stipend is set at three levels: (1) up to $30,000 for an assistant professor or career equivalent; (2) up to $40,000 for an associate professor or career equivalent; and (3) up to $50,000 for a full professor or career equivalent. ACLS will determine the level based on the candidate's rank or career status as of the application deadline. Approximately 20 fellowships will be available at each level.
The ACLS Fellowship Program welcomes applications from scholars in all disciplines of the humanities and humanities-related social sciences. Appropriate fields of specialization include, but are not limited to: anthropology; archaeology; art history; economics; geography; history; languages and literatures; law; linguistics; musicology; philosophy; political science; psychology; religion; rhetoric and communication; and sociology. Proposals in the social science fields listed above are eligible only if they employ predominantly humanistic approaches (e.g., economic history, law and literature, political philosophy). Proposals in interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary studies are welcome, as are proposals focused on any geographic region or on any cultural or linguistic group.

Amount: $55,000
The Hodder Fellowship is awarded to humanists at the early stages of their career and was designed specifically to identify and nurture extraordinary potential rather than to honor distinguished achievement.

Preference is given to candidates outside of academia.

Radcliffe Center Fellowships
Harvard University
Application Deadline: December 1, 2005
The Radcliffe Institute Fellowship Program is a scholarly community where individuals pursue advanced work across a wide range of academic disciplines, professions, and creative arts. Radcliffe Institute fellowships are designed to support scholars, scientists, artists, and writers of exceptional promise and demonstrated accomplishment who wish to pursue work in academic and professional fields and in the creative arts. In recognition of Radcliffe's historic contributions to the education of women and to the study of issues related to women, the Radcliffe Institute sustains a continuing commitment to the study of women, gender, and society. Applicants' projects need not focus on gender, however. Women and men from across the United States and throughout the world, including developing countries, are encouraged to apply. We seek to build a community of fellows that is diverse in every way.Stipends are funded up to $55,000 for one year with additional funds for project expenses. Some support for relocation expenses is provided where relevant. If so directed, Radcliffe will pay the stipend to the fellow's home institution.
Fellows receive office or studio space, computers and high-speed Internet links, and access to libraries and other resources of Harvard University during the fellowship year, which extends from early September 2006 through June 30, 2007. Fellows are expected to be free of their regular commitments so they may devote themselves full time to the work outlined in their proposal. Since this is a residential fellowship, we expect fellows to reside in the Boston area during that period and to have their primary office at the Institute so that they can participate fully in the life of the community.
