Discovery Field School Teaching Grants


Deadline: March 15, 2024


Faculty are invited to submit proposals for a Discovery Field School Grant. Field schools are faculty-led, interdisciplinary, experiential-learning programs offered as one-credit undergraduate courses that take students to domestic destinations to learn about the transformational value of the humanities and the arts. By immersing students in learning environments, field schools aim to close the gap between knowing and doing. This round of grants is for field schools implemented either during autumn 2024 or spring 2025. If course offerings are impacted by COVID-19, GAHDT will work with grant awardees on a case-by-case basis to reschedule.

Renewable annual grants of up to $15,000 will be awarded for field schools that further the declared purposes of the Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme to:

  • Deepen student cross-disciplinary engagement and experiential learning in the arts and humanities.
  • Demonstrate the value of the arts and humanities to address critical societal challenges.
  • Empower faculty and students to contribute to society as change agents.

Faculty Leaders

Discovery Field Schools are led by tenure-track faculty. Lecturers, postdoctoral researchers and staff may co-lead a field school as long as the primary leader is a tenure-track faculty member. It is expected that an approved field school will be offered two times over a period of three years. Lecturers interested in proposing a field school must be on a multi-year contract so as to fulfill this obligation. Each field school is approved with the understanding that approval is attached to the individual faculty member or pair of faculty members leading the field school. If the field school is to be offered with a different instructor(s) or for an additional cycle, it must be resubmitted for funding approval.


Faculty Compensation

Faculty leaders are provided $2,500 in cash as research funds for the initial field school offering and $1,500 in cash as research funds for the second offering. If two faculty lead a field school, each leader will be provided $2,000 per the initial field school offering and $1,000 in research funds for the second time it is offered. This compensation is not part of the budget for the project.


Course Offering

Discovery Field Schools are offered during the autumn and spring semesters, with travel occurring during the semester the field school is offered. The immersive learning experience, including travel to and from the learning site, should last between three and seven days. Faculty are encouraged to schedule field schools to correspond with semester breaks to try to forestall students missing their regularly-scheduled courses. However, if a field school should require students to miss their other classes, GAHDT will provide an official letter for students to share with their instructors to excuse them from classes during the field school.


Course Requirements

Discovery Field Schools have three core components: 1) A pre-travel assignment designed to prepare students for their immersive-learning experience; 2) A three-to-seven day travel experience; and 3) A post- travel assignment designed to prompt students to reflect deeply on their immersive-learning experience. All assignments should be commensurate with a one-credit course.


Course Enrollment

A minimum enrollment of four undergraduate students is required to teach a field school. The maximum enrollment is twelve undergraduate students.


Learning Sites

Discovery Field Schools are reserved for immersive-learning experiences at sites within the United States.


Community Partner(s)

Discovery Field Schools are conducted in coordination and collaboration with one or more community- based partners at a learning site. The extent of the coordination and the nature of the collaboration should reflect the field school’s expressed student learning outcomes. Community partners should also be willing to collaborate with the field school for at least two years so that the field school can be offered twice during a three-year period. Community partners will be compensated for the collaboration. Please note that this compensation must be allocated from awarded grant monies.


Student Application Process

Students apply for a Discovery Field School by submitting a copy of their transcript and a 250-word essay explaining their interest in the field school and their expected outcomes from participating if selected. The field school faculty leader is responsible for advertising the field school on relevant university platforms, soliciting and reviewing applications and selecting applicants. Graduating seniors must contact the course faculty leaders to verify their eligibility.


How to Apply

All applications must be submitted here, where applicants will be guided through the application process for their proposal type.


Proposal Guidelines

  1. 1. Narrative description of proposed Discovery Field School, including:
    1. Learning site rationale: A description of the field school learning site, along with a rationale for the learning site as a destination for an immersive educational experience. The learning site rationale should also include a description and explanation of student activities at the learning site, along with an explanation for the chosen duration of the travel experience.
    2. Community partner rationale: A description of field school community partner(s), with an explanation of the partner’s relevance to the field school, commitment to coordinate and collaborate with the field school and likelihood of engaging in a sustained relationship with the field school.
    3. Student learning objectives: A description of the primary learning objectives for students who participate in the field school.
    4. Documentation: A description of the form of documentation (e.g., performance, podcasts, videos, blogs, website, publication and performance) that the field school will produce, which can be featured on the GAHDT website.

Society of Fellows: Undergraduate Research Apprenticeships


2024-25 Theme: CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE
Deadline extended: April 1, 2024


The Society of Fellows Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship program is a competitive award that provides up to ten upper-level undergraduates the opportunity to be mentored through multidisciplinary approaches to the study of an annual theme, to build an intellectual cohort around the theme, and to produce research/creative responses to inquiries impelled by these engagements.


Annual Theme: CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE

CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE reflects on how care and caring relations operate in local and global contexts. The theme foregrounds care as an interdisciplinary investigation. It approaches care as a cultural practice that alerts us to the ethical and political obligations that arise from explicit claims of harm and everyday requirements for nutrition, shelter, bodily integrity, education, health and social belonging. Care is a cornerstone of social movements, a survival strategy and a catalyst for social change.

Scholars, artists, activists and practitioners have turned to theories of care to analyze the material conditions and discourses that shape differential risk and harm and to recalibrate public responses to these conditions. At stake are newly imagined conceptions of obligation, sustainability, responsibility and justice. The Society of Fellows welcomes projects that focus on care discourses, aesthetics, practices and policies across historical periods and in different parts of the world — including projects that approach cultural heritage and cultural production as acts of care.

CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE understands care as a means of imagining more equitable and life-affirming relations. The Society of Fellows welcomes projects that examine socio-political and structural interrelations of gender, race, ethnicity, class, ability, sexuality and nationality as they relate to care and care as labor. The theme also engages the paradoxes of care economies and technologies as in the governance of care through ableist and punitive frameworks, such as the criminalization of addiction.

With CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE, the Society of Fellows is particularly interested in supporting projects that explore care in terms of lived experiences through the vitality of the arts, culture and history. Community-engaged research and creative projects that operationalize collective care are also welcome, including collaborative projects with non-profit organizations, clinics and mutual aid networks, projects that focus on public education and public policy and proposals invested in disability justice, transformative access and cross-movement organizing.

We invite current Ohio State undergraduate students (juniors and seniors with a minimum GPA of 3.0) from all majors/campuses with an interest in this area to apply. Note that priority will be given to students in the arts and humanities or those bringing a humanistic perspective to their research. Students must be able to articulate a strong interest in any dimension of the annual theme of CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE as well as a research/creative project they would like to develop when applying for the grant. The program carries with it a total stipend of $2,000. Funds will be disbursed in October 2024.

This program does not carry formal academic credit.


Grant Recipient Requirements

  1. Grant recipients will develop their own research and creative project and be mentored through the fellowship year by a GAHDT Faculty Fellow. Fellows are obligated to attend several group mentoring sessions during the academic year (NOTE: Given the uncertain future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, these meetings may be modified to a hybrid or remote format, consistent with university mandates and guidelines and will practice all social distancing and other safe campus protocols).
  2. In addition to attending monthly group mentoring sessions, grant recipients must attend Society of Fellows Digital Dialogues during the academic year. Recipients must share a final public project that showcases their fellowship-related work in the form of a web-based deliverable for GAHDT’s website (in coordination with Communications Coordinator, Breanne LeJeune and the Faculty Mentor).

A tentative timeline of research obligations: Initial research proposal due in October 2024; research outline due in early December 2024; midterm research progress report due in February 2025; and final research project due in April 2025.


How to Apply

To be eligible, applicants must hold either junior or senior status with a minimum GPA of 3.0.

All applications must be submitted here, where applicants will be guided through the application process for their proposal type.

Submit electronic copies of the following materials:

  1. An online application.
  2. A two-page statement of purpose (750-1,000 words, 12 PT Times New Roman, single spaced) indicating why you are interested in the annual theme of CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE and how participation in the Society of Fellows would benefit you. This statement should not restate information found in your resume. Answer the following questions when writing:
    1. Tell us about yourself and the evolution of your interest in this subject area, including any specific academic courses or experiences that have contributed to your interest.
    2. What dimensions of this theme interest you the most and why?
    3. Describe what specific research or creative project you imagine working on.

Community Engagement Grants


Deadline: April 15, 2024


Purpose

The Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme — in collaboration with the Office of Engagement in the College of Arts and Sciences — announces a special grants initiative around the theme of CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE (learn more here). This competition supports public-facing, community-partner-engaged projects that reflect on how care and caring relations operate in local and global contexts. The initiative provides substantial, strategic investment for two years to seed new projects and one-to-two years to sustain existing community engagement projects committed to strengthening the university’s capacity for transformative, community-engaged partnerships that emphasize cross-disciplinarity and integrate arts and humanities orientations, methods and practices.

To be successful, a proposal should make a convincing case that the proposed investment will play a pivotal role in either seeding a new project of broad value to the communities it serves or in sustaining and scaling an existing, high-impact, community-engagement project.

Single year projects can seek a total investment of $25,000-$125,000. Two year projects may seek a total investment between $25,000-$250,000, with a maximum of $125,000 disbursed per year.


Theme: CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE

This special initiative understands care as a cultural practice that alerts us to the ethical and political obligations that arise from explicit claims of harm and everyday requirements for nutrition, shelter, bodily integrity, education, health and social belonging. It is a cornerstone of social movements, a survival strategy and a catalyst for social change. The initiative is particularly interested in supporting projects that explore care in terms of lived experiences through the vitality of the arts, culture and history. Community-engaged research and creative projects that operationalize collective care are strongly encouraged, including collaborative projects with non-profit organizations, clinics and mutual aid networks, projects that focus on public education and public policy and proposals invested in disability justice and transformative access.


Phased Grant Model

Proposals for new projects should contain plans for the first and second year of the grant, including the identification of benchmarks that will justify continued support through funding phases. Proposals for existing projects should provide background of the initiative’s aspirations and goals, reflect on its current level of community engagement and impact, and describe how the additional strategic investment will advance its reach and sustainability.

At the end of the first year, principal investigators for new and existing projects must submit a progress report assessing the continued feasibility of the project. Directors of the sponsoring grant program will evaluate the grantee’s progress to determine if it has met the predetermined benchmarks enabling the project to move to the second year of funding. In some instances, Phase II award amounts may be substantially more than the grant amount awarded in Phase I.


Eligibility

Faculty (including lecturers) and staff can apply. A tenure-track faculty team leader (with PI status) from the College of Arts and Sciences must be identified (including at least one team member being tenure-track Division of Arts and Humanities faculty). A community partner must also be identified as a co-investigator.

If the project uses human subjects research, all collaborators should have PI status through the Office of Research and the proposal must include verification that IRB approval has been (or is being) sought.

For this proposal, a ‘community partner’ is broadly defined to include a wide range of collaborators or constituencies, such as a single school or school district, local community businesses, non-profit or governmental organizations, student organizations aligned with a community need, neighborhood or professional associations or faith-based organizations.


How to Apply

All applications must be submitted online, where applicants will be guided through the application process for their proposal type. Applicants must provide the following materials by April 15, 2024. 

Proposals must be submitted as PDF documents double-spaced, in 11pt font with standard paper size and margins and run no more than six double-spaced pages — exclusive of all addenda (letters of support, two-page team CVs and budgets). Title page should include the following:

  • Line one: Descriptive project title
  • Line two: Name of contact PI/units (each proposal may have no more than two project leaders, one of which must be a tenure-track faculty member)
  • Line three: Name of community partner(s)

Criteria

The proposal must provide the following information, which will also be used as evaluation criteria:

  1. Community challenge: Describe the community need/challenge to which the project responds and the process of community involvement in identifying the need/challenge and envisioning responses.
  2. Aspirations and goals: Describe project aspirations and goals and outline an assessment plan to monitor progress and evaluate achievement of project goals. Note: Existing projects must include background information, including goals, community impact, and how the investment will enhance sustainability.
  3. Integrated arts and humanities: Describe how the project addresses the community need/challenge through integration of arts and humanities orientations, methods and practices.
  4. Diversity, inclusion and accessibility: Describe how the project will foster diverse engagement and inclusion. What processes will it use to identify and accommodate access?
  5. Institutional ecology and networks: Indicate how the project will build on existing initiatives, resources and expertise, including evidence of the prior experience and/or relevant community-engaged scholarship of the project director(s) related to the proposed project.
  6. Itemized budget: List of future external funding opportunities.
  7. Endorsements: Letters from department chair and community partners.

Proposal Guidelines

Two year projects may seek a total investment between $25,000-$250,000, with a maximum of $125,000 disbursed per year. For two year projects, disbursement for the second year is contingent upon a positive review (see above).
  2. Uses for funds: Proposals may request annual cash allocations for community programs, consultations, venue rentals, materials and equipment, documentation (including marketing and website support) and participant stipends. Proposals may request student support in the form of small grants and/or GA tuition and fees. Course releases for tenure-track faculty (at the lecturer rate) or supplemental or off-duty pay of $5,000 (for the labor equivalent to that of one course release) are eligible, as are post-doctoral researcher positions, hourly supplemental pay for lecturers, and lecturer travel. Depending upon the scope of their contributions to the project, Ohio State faculty and staff collaborators can be allocated between $500 to $2,000 in cash as a research stipend. Project leaders are also eligible for research stipends. These suggestions are intended to be illustrative and not exclusive. Proposers are encouraged to be visionary and imaginative in thinking about possible application of funds. If partnerships are with for-profit institutions, an explanation of how the partner will cost share (including in-kind contributions) is required. Budget requests should be highly detailed, cost-efficient and commensurate with potential for community and university impact.
  3. Project teams: Proposals must be submitted by teams of collaborators. A tenure-track faculty team leader (with PI status) from the College of Arts and Sciences must be identified (including at least one team member being tenure-track Division of Arts and Humanities faculty). A community partner must also be identified as a co-investigator. Concise, two-page CVs of all PIs must be included. They must include an explanation of the project’s relevance and impact as well as a vision for meaningful involvement of community partners and the university community. Proposals should also describe how the project promotes diversity and inclusion, and its process for identifying accessibility needs.
  4. Community partner(s): Proposals must include letters of commitment from the community partner(s). Community partners are expected to be co-designers of the project and may be compensated for their collaboration. Depending upon the scope of their contributions to the project, community collaborators can be allocated between $500 to $5,000 in the form of facilitation or consultation fees. Please note that this compensation must be allocated from awarded grant monies.
  5. Ethics and reciprocity: Proposals must demonstrate that all partners are substantially involved in the design and implementation of the proposed work and include a brief description of the roles of each of the PI’s and partner and a plan for a sustainable university-community partnership, transition of the project to a community partner or meaningful exit plan at the culmination of the partnership.
  6.  Letters of support (Ohio State): A letter of support from the  chairperson of the faculty leader’s department attesting to the department’s willingness to provide administrative support for the management of funds through the department’s fiscal officer. Alternatively, fiscal management may be distributed across PIs’s department fiscal officers.
  7. Extra-mural support: Please note if any additional funding has already been secured. Sources of funding may be identified using this Office of Research resource. Proposals should indicate the potential of the initiative to secure extramural (non-Ohio State) funding.

Society of Fellows: Ohio State Faculty Fellowships


2024-25 Theme: CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE
Deadline: February 15, 2024


“Care is linked to justice because without care there is no reason to value justice and no possibility of its realization. It is also a way of understanding justice — not as punitive or disciplinary but as a relationship grounded in recognition and reciprocity.” 

Honor Ford-Smith and Beverley Hanson,
“Justice as a Labor of Care” 

Who provides care and for whom? Who and what do we care about? How do we cultivate more caring relations across differences? Across borders? Within ourselves? How might we envision a more caring and just politics? How might collective care offer strategies for enduring and thriving in precarious environments? How do we build agile infrastructures to resource wider forms of care to address global health disparities? What opportunities emerge if care is centralized at every scale of life — including non-human forms? How is care inherent to the arts and humanities? What role can the arts and humanities play in expanding our capacity to care?

The Society of Fellows’ 2024-25 theme, CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE, invites applicants to reflect on how care and caring relations operate in local and global contexts. This year’s theme will foreground care as an interdisciplinary investigation. It approaches care as a cultural practice that alerts us to the ethical and political obligations that arise from explicit claims of harm and everyday requirements for nutrition, shelter, bodily integrity, education, health and social belonging. Care is a cornerstone of social movements, a survival strategy and a catalyst for social change.

Scholars, artists, activists and practitioners have turned to theories of care to analyze the material conditions and discourses that shape differential risk and harm and to recalibrate public responses to these conditions. At stake are newly-imagined conceptions of obligation, sustainability, responsibility and justice. The Society of Fellows welcomes projects that focus on care discourses, aesthetics, practices and policies across historical periods and in different parts of the world — including projects that approach cultural heritage and cultural production as acts of care.

CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE understands care as a means of imagining more equitable and life-affirming relations. The Society of Fellows welcomes projects that examine socio-political and structural interrelations of gender, race, ethnicity, class, ability, sexuality and nationality as they relate to care and care as labor. The theme also engages the paradoxes of care economies and technologies as in the governance of care through ableist and punitive frameworks, such as the criminalization of addiction.

With CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE, the Society of Fellows is particularly interested in supporting projects that explore care in terms of lived experiences through the vitality of the arts, culture and history. Community-engaged research and creative projects that operationalize collective care are also welcome, including collaborative projects with non-profit organizations, clinics and mutual aid networks, projects that focus on public education and public policy and proposals invested in disability justice, transformative access and cross-movement organizing.


Fellowships for Ohio State Faculty

The Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme will award up to eight academic year, residential fellowships to faculty currently employed by Ohio State. These fellowships are designed to provide faculty with release time to focus on their scholarly and artistic work, as well as with opportunities to engage with other Ohio State faculty, students and local Columbus community organizations.

Fellows will participate in a monthly seminar throughout the academic year and co-organize a culminating public-facing event (symposium, exhibition, series of workshops, etc.). Fellows will be provided administrative support for event planning.

Faculty from all disciplines, in any college, whose research foregrounds arts and humanities methods, orientations and interventions may apply. Faculty whose research and/or creative practices are interdisciplinary in orientation or whose projects would benefit from input from multi-disciplinary engagement are especially welcome.


Eligibility and Release Time

Associate and full professors on all Ohio State campuses are eligible to apply. Preference will be given to associate professors for whom this support would facilitate promotion to full professor. Assistant professors who will have passed their fourth-year review at the start of the fellowship period are also eligible. Faculty must commit to being in attendance on the Columbus campus during the fellowship period so that they can participate fully in the monthly seminar and contribute to the planning and implementation of the culminating public event.

During the fellowship period, and in accordance with college policy, faculty participating in the Society of Fellows will receive a two-course buyout, equivalent to 32% base salary and benefits. GAHDT will transfer these funds to the faculty member’s TIU. TIU heads will work with the faculty member to reduce service responsibilities in accordance with college guidelines and in line with unit needs. The fellowship may be taken concurrently with an Ohio State Faculty Professional Leave (subject to OAA approval). In such cases, the 32% release funds will be used to fund a special assignment with no  teaching that may be combined with a one-semester FPL.

In addition to the release funds as indicated above, fellows will also receive $4,000 in research funds to be used during the fellowship year (and no later than August 30, 2025).


Supplemental Mentoring Appointment

This year, we hope to appoint three of the Society of Fellows faculty fellows as mentors to work with the Undergraduate Research Apprentices and Graduate Team Fellows. In addition to a two-course release and $4,000 research stipend as a SOF faculty fellow, the faculty mentors will receive an additional $5,000 in supplemental pay. The faculty mentors will support undergraduate and/or graduate fellows in developing their own research and/or creative project, with administrative help from GAHDT staff. We expect to offer 5-7 undergraduate apprenticeships and 8 graduate fellowships.

The mentoring program requires that students meet with faculty mentors once per month for 90 minutes during the academic year. Student fellowship recipients must share a final public project that showcases their fellowship-related work in the form of a web-based deliverable for GAHDT’s website (in coordination with Communications Coordinator Breanne LeJeune and the faculty mentors).

Applicants interested in a supplemental student mentoring appointment should indicate interest by checking the appropriate box on the application form.


How to Apply

All applications must be submitted here, where applicants will be guided through the application process for their proposal type.

Submit electronic copies of the following materials:

  1. A current curriculum vitae.
  2. A list of the leaves and fellowships held in the past three years.
  3. A one-page abstract describing the project (research, creative, public-facing) the applicant will pursue during the term of the fellowship (no more than 300 words).
  4. A brief statement (1,000-1,500 words) describing reasons for interest in participating in the Society of Fellows, what specific contributions you would hope to bring to the cohort and ideas for a collaborative, public-facing event on the annual theme.
  5. A sample of professional achievement (or scholarship or creative activity) related to the fellowship theme (one published article, book chapter, or multimedia/video documentation of artistic practice).
  6. A brief supporting letter from the department chair committing to adjust the applicant’s teaching and service responsibilities during the fellowship period. This letter should be submitted as part of application materials through the GAHDT website.
  7. Applicants interested in a supplemental student-mentoring appointment should indicate interest by checking the appropriate box on the application form.

Society of Fellows: Graduate Team Discovery  Fellowships


2024-25 Theme: CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE
Deadline: February 15, 2024


The Graduate Team Discovery Fellowship is a financial award given by the Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme to recognize the cross-disciplinary aspirations and academic accomplishments of graduate students in the Division of Arts and Humanities in the College of Arts and Sciences. This program brings together a cohort of graduate students whose projects match with our Society of Fellows’ annual theme — CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE — and awards each student a year-long fellowship. The fellowship is open to students whose projects engage cross-disciplinary critical and/or creative practices as well as students who seek to foster the development of participatory networks with local Columbus communities. Graduate Team Fellows may be at any phase of their dissertation research or terminal degree project.

The Society of Fellows 2024-25 Theme, CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE, reflects on how care and caring relations operate in local and global contexts. The theme foregrounds care as an interdisciplinary investigation. It approaches care as a cultural practice that alerts us to the ethical and political obligations that arise from explicit claims of harm and everyday requirements for nutrition, shelter, bodily integrity, education, health and social belonging.

What Does it Mean to be a Graduate Team Fellow?

In addition to focusing on their own research (as mentored by their department faculty advisor), Graduate Team Fellows convene as a cohort to support each other’s evolving research, to develop cross-disciplinary methodologies and to generate a collective, public-facing project (like a podcast, website or conference presentation). In this work, Graduate Team Fellows will be mentored by one of our GAHDT Faculty Fellows with expertise in cross-disciplinary arts and humanities methods and practices.


Award Conditions

The GAHDT Graduate Team Discovery Fellowship offers three consecutive semesters (autumn, spring, summer) of tuition and fees and a monthly stipend of $2,535. The award includes travel and research support up to $500. Support also includes payment of general/instructional fees, tuition and any learning/technology fee. Special fees, such as COTA, recreational facility, Student Union and study activity fees are not included. Graduate Team Fellows may not hold any other type of employment or appointment during the time of the fellowship.


Eligibility

  1. Must be a doctoral student or student in a three-year terminal degree program (e.g., MFA) in the Division of Arts and Humanities of the College of Arts and Sciences.
  2. Must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.6 for all Ohio State graduate courses.

Fellowship Obligations

The Graduate Team Discovery Fellowship Program requires Graduate Team Fellows to meet with each other and an assigned faculty mentor once per month during the semester to help advance cross- disciplinary understandings and to contribute to GAHDT. Fellows will be able to identify their own individual contribution to the team in consultation with the GAHDT-assigned faculty mentor. This contribution may include (but is not limited to) collaborative research presentations in a format of their choosing, the organization of related campus events or the creation of public-facing projects. Graduate Team Fellows are required to apply for extramural (non-Ohio State) funding during the fellowship period and will be guided through this process by a faculty mentor.


How to Apply

All applications must be submitted here, where applicants will be guided through the application process for their proposal type. 

Submit electronic copies of the following materials:

    3. Describes how the project engages in cross-disciplinary dialogue relevant to our Society of Fellows’ annual theme: CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE.
    4. Describes the work that the fellowship will allow the student to complete.
  3. A letter of support from the student’s advisor that conveys the advisor’s appraisal of the project’s progress and cross-disciplinary significance, relevance of the project to the field of study, student’s unique contribution and value of the fellowship to the student’s overall graduate pursuits.
  4. If the student’s project involves a community partnership, it is highly recommended that the student provide an additional letter of support from the community partner.
  5. A current transcript and/or academic advising report.

NOTE: No ancillary materials, such as DVDs or CDs, will be accepted. Web addresses linking to ancillary materials may be included as appropriate in the research statement.


Evaluation Process + Criteria

  1. Applications will be evaluated by a sub-committee of the GAHDT Advisory Committee, which is comprised of senior members of the graduate faculty.
  2. The advisory committee will consider all the required information presented in support of the application. Evaluation will focus on the cross-disciplinary reach and quality of the research or creative project proposed; the project’s potential to link with the Society of Fellows annual theme, CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE, and the student’s ability to undertake the dissertation or degree project within the fellowship tenure as evaluated primarily by scholars outside the nominee’s area of study.
