Call for applicants: John S. Guggenheim Foundation Fellows

Colleagues, Carol Ashcraft passed this along, and I hope you or someone you know is interested in the Guggenheim program. As you'll see, Carol urges you to notify her if you apply, but it is an open-submission program. Let the CHASS Research Office know if we can help in any way.

Five Triangle area residents won Guggenheim Fellowships recently, attracting news coverage that provides additional information about the kind of work Guggenheim Foundation funds through its awards.  All five Triangle area Guggenheim Fellows are in the arts, humanities and social sciences, but faculty in the natural sciences are also eligible. 

 

The next application deadline is September 15, 2012.  To apply when the Guggenheim online application system opens in July, seehttp://www.gf.org/applicants/how-to-apply/ .  Faculty are requested to inform carol_ashcraft@ncsu.edu about their interest in this program; however, it is open submission and all interested faculty may submit applications.
