Please note the following change: Full-time Professors of the Practice are now also eligible to apply for these fellowships.
The Dresher Center for the Humanities, in conjunction with the College
of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) and the Vice President
for Research, invites applications for Dresher Center Summer
Fellowships. Proposals are welcome from all full-time, tenured or
tenure-track UMBC faculty as well as full-time professors of the
practice pursuing humanities research in the College of Arts,
Humanities, and Social Sciences. Funding is intended to support and
promote significant humanities research at UMBC. Fellows will receive
support for summer research and the completion 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, including
grant and fellowship applications, and book proposals.
Applications will be reviewed by the Dresher Center Advisory Board.
Fellows (individuals or groups) will receive $6,000 per award. Between
one and three fellowships will be awarded.
Contact Jessica Berman, Dresher Center Director, or Rachel Brubaker, Dresher Center Assistant Director, with any questions.
Applications are due by February 15, 2021.
