NEMLA Summer Fellowships
The
NeMLA Summer Fellowship Program is designed to support primarily untenured
junior faculty, graduate students, and independent scholars. This does not
preclude senior faculty from applying. Fellowships ranging from $500 to $1,500 are intended to defray the cost of traveling incurred by researchers in pursuing their work-in-progress over the summer.
The application requires a description of the proposed
project including a project time line and detailed budget. Allowable budget
items include travel and accommodations. This program does not provide
funding for conference travel, equipment, or general office expenses.
Recipients of the NeMLA Summer Fellowship will be
announced at the Business meeting at the NeMLA annual convention, and will
receive a check in the days following the Convention. All applicants will
be notified before the convention.
Recipients must wait three years before applying for
another grant. A report is to be written at the end of the Summer
Fellowship, and sent to the Chair of the NeMLA Fellowship Committee.
Acknowledgement of the NEMLA Summer Fellowship grant must be included in any
publication subsequent to the research conducted during the summer.
Deadline for receipt of applications for the 2008-09 competition is January 7th, 2009.
