Andrew Carnegie Fellows 2021 Competition Deadline

Sunday, November 01, 2020 - 12:00 AM

TTK faculty are invited to apply to the Andrew Carnegie Fellows 2021 competition, which offers $200,000 fellowships in the humanities and social sciences. The University of Maryland is holding a limited submission competition to select the two institutional nominees: one senior scholar and one junior scholar (must have received PhD in the past 10 years). 

 This year's themes (more details here) are:

  • Global connections and global ruptures
  • Strengthening U.S. democracy and exploring new narratives
  • Environments, natural and human
  • Technological and cultural creativity—potential and perils

If you want to be considered for a UMD nominee spot, please submit the following items via InfoReady by midnight on November 1.

  • Draft letter of nomination, drafted by you, written as if from President Pines to Carnegie. Carnegie's directions: "The letter should include a brief description of the candidate’s accomplishments and potential and describe how his or her contributions will address pressing issues and cultural shifts affecting us at home and abroad."
  • Copy of an email from your chair acknowledging your application to this fellowship
  • 3-5 page prospectus, double-spaced, 12 point font (see more directions below)
  • Current CV

Contact Amanda Dykema with any questions or if you'd like to request a review of your materials before the limited submission deadline.
