The application for Summer 2027 will be posted in November
The Dresher Center for the Humanities invites applications for Dresher Center Summer Fellowships for Teaching Professors and Part-Time Faculty. Funding is intended to support and promote significant humanities research at UMBC. The Dresher Center Summer Fellow will receive support for summer research and the advancement of a book manuscript, a major article, or a project of similar stature.
Funding may also be used for assistance in developing extramural funding applications, book proposals, and grant project applications. Proposals are welcome from all teaching professors and part-time faculty pursuing humanities research in the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, whether employed full- or part-time. Part-Time faculty must be teaching at UMBC at the time of application with the expectation that they will also teach at UMBC in the academic semester or year following summer funding. Proposals will be reviewed by the Dresher Center Advisory Board.
One individual or group will receive $6,000 per award (paid in equal distributions in May and June).
Funds supporting this initiative are provided by the Dresher Center for the Humanities Endowment.
