Application Deadline for Spring 2012 is Nov. 21, 2011.

Download the complete application information.

CHAT fellowships for non-tenure-track faculty provide a $500 research budget. Fellows participate in the bi-weekly Fellows Seminar for the Spring 2012 semester, where they present part of their manuscript for discussion and critique. Discussions are interdisciplinary and provide participants with an intense engagement with scholarship and lively intellectual debate.

Applicants are selected on the strength of the research project they will work on for the term of the award. All research needs to be directed toward eventual publication in a peer-reviewed venue.

Eligibility

All fulltime non-tenure-track faculty working on research projects in the humanities or humanistic social sciences are eligible to apply. Previous applicants are welcome to reapply every year. Recipients during the previous four years are ineligible. Simultaneous application to external fellowships is encouraged. Please note that the Fellows Seminar meets on Tuesdays from 12:30-1:50 p.m.

Application

Each candidate submits:

• A statement of proposed research (2-4 pages double-spaced) describing the intellectual significance of the project. Provide an overview explaining the basic ideas, problems, or questions examined by the study. Explain how the project will complement, challenge, or expand relevant studies in the field. Include a description of the current state of the work, identify the research planned for the fellowship year, and describe the intended results of the project.
• Current C.V.

All proposals will be confidentially evaluated by an interdisciplinary group of faculty from the Center's Advisory Board and award decisions will be based on the quality of the research proposal.
