Fellowship Overview

PURPOSE To address a need for funding for research to pursue a book project, major article or series of articles, or other equivalent research projects
AMOUNT $5,000
OPEN TO Full-time faculty for whom research is a formal component of their annual assessment
The Glasscock Center for Humanities Research annually funds a number of Faculty Research Fellowships up to $5,000 each.

This fellowship is for the academic year.  However, to facilitate summer research, funding will be made available for activities between May 31st of the award year and August 31st of the following year.  (For example: May 31, 2025 to August 31, 2026).

SELECTION:

Selection for these highly competitive awards is made by a multi-disciplinary committee of Texas A&M faculty members in the humanities and humanistic social sciences who typically are members of the Glasscock Center’s Faculty Advisory Board or previous awardees.

ELIGIBILITY:

All full-time faculty members for whom research is a formal component of their annual assessment are eligible to apply.  Eligible faculty may receive a Glasscock Faculty Research Fellowship a maximum of once every three academic years. Applicants currently receiving start-up funds or holding an endowed chair or professorship are ineligible to apply for this award.

ABOUT:

Glasscock Faculty Research Fellowships provide critical support for seeding and supporting faculty research projects in the humanities and humanistic social sciences.  Research from non-humanities disciplines that takes an interpretive or qualitative approach to questions of meaning in human experiences and endeavors is also welcome.  These fellowships carry a maximum value of $5,000.  These awards are designed to address a need for funding for research projects that will ultimately result in a published book, major article, series of articles, or other equivalent research projects that make an impact in the faculty member’s field and humanities in general.  Funds may be used for archival and fieldwork, conference participation, software, or other normally reimbursable expenses. Applications will include either a plan to seek major external funding opportunities for the larger project or demonstrate that such funds have been received (depending on the project stage).

Recipients of the fellowship are required to participate in the Faculty Colloquium Series, which will function as a working group for these works in progress, and acknowledge the Glasscock Center in any resulting publications or exhibitions. Projects will be chosen on the basis of their intellectual rigor, scholarly creativity, and potential to make a significant impact in the candidate’s field and the humanities generally.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:

Applicant should upload a current four-page c.v. (as a PDF).
