ACLS invites applications for Frederick Burkhardt Residential Fellowships for Recently Tenured Scholars, made possible by the generous assistance of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The fellowships are named for the late Frederick Burkhardt, president emeritus of ACLS, whose decades of work on The Correspondence of Charles Darwin constitute a signal example of dedication to a demanding and ambitious scholarly enterprise. These fellowships support long-term, unusually ambitious projects in the humanities and related social sciences. The ultimate goal of the project should be a major piece of scholarly work by the applicant. ACLS does not fund creative work (e.g., novels or films), textbooks, straightforward translation, or pedagogical projects.

The Burkhardt program offers two sets of opportunities for recently tenured humanists. The first set of Burkhardt Fellowships support an academic year (nine months) of residence at any one of the 13 participating residential research centers, and are open to faculty at any degree-granting academic institution in the United States. An additional set of Burkhardt Fellowships are designated specifically for liberal arts college faculty, and support an academic year of residence at a wider range of locations including campus humanities centers and university academic departments to be proposed by the applicant. (Liberal arts college faculty may apply for either of the Burkhardt awards, and should select which fellowship opportunity will best serve their project.)

More information about both sets of opportunities is available on the program's webpage. Please note that once you begin the application, you will be unable to switch options.

FREDERICK BURKHARDT RESIDENTIAL FELLOWSHIPS

WELCOME TO THE ONLINE APPLICATION FOR BURKHARDT FELLOWSHIPS AT RESIDENTIAL RESEARCH CENTERS.

These Burkhardt Fellowships are intended to support an academic year (nine months) of residence at any one of the 13 national residential research centers or libraries participating in the program. Such an environment, beyond providing free time, encourages exchanges across disciplinary lines that can be especially helpful to deepening and expanding the significance of projects in the humanities and related social sciences. This year's successful applicants may take up the fellowship in 2017-18 or in either of the succeeding two academic years, but candidates must commit themselves firmly to the preferred year and residential center on their completed applications. Candidates must also commit themselves to relocating as needed in order to be in residence for the entire nine-month tenure of the fellowship.

ACLS will award up to 10 Burkhardt Fellowships for residency at these centers in the 2016-17 competition year. Each fellowship carries a stipend of $95,000, plus funds for research costs and related scholarly activities of up to $7,500 and for relocation up to $3,000.

Scholars are free to apply both for a Burkhardt Fellowship and for forms of support offered directly by all of the participating centers, as well as to other ACLS fellowship programs. Successful applicants who accept a Burkhardt Fellowship will be withdrawn from other ACLS competitions.

Before beginning your application, you will be asked several questions designed to determine preliminary eligibility for this program. Once you have answered these basic eligibility questions, please read all instructions, including those in the REFERENCE LETTERS and PROPOSAL UPLOAD sections, before beginning to fill out the application form.

Completed applications must be submitted online no later than 9 pm, Eastern Daylight Time, September 28, 2016. Notifications will be sent via email by late February 2017. Click for more information.

Eligibility These Burkhardt Fellowships are open to recently tenured humanists—scholars who will have begun their first tenured contracts by the application deadline but began their first tenured contracts no earlier than the fall 2012 semester or quarter. An applicant must be employed in a tenured position at a degree-granting academic institution in the United States, remaining so for the duration of the fellowship. US citizenship or permanent residency is not required, and previous supported research leaves do not affect eligibility for the Burkhardt Fellowship. This is a residential fellowship; scholars who are unable to commit to a nine-month residence at one of the 13 participating centers should not apply.

Objectives1. To encourage more adventurous, more wide-ranging, and longer-term patterns of research than are current in the humanities and related social sciences;

2. To link a small number of outstanding scholars and their projects to one of a limited number of residential study centers with an established record of advancing multidisciplinary scholarship;

3. To sustain the scholarly momentum of the emerging intellectual leaders in fields of the humanities and related social sciences.

ACLS invites applications that extend the frame within which research is planned in ways that will encourage conceptualizing and bringing to completion projects of wide scope and high significance. There are many ways in which scholarship may take on such scope and significance, from work that compares historical or literary trends across two or more cultures; that requires command of two or

Objectives


more scholarly disciplines to advance analysis; that explores topics requiring insights be combined from two or more fields of the humanities; or that is poised to take fields of study in new directions. Please look through the projects of past Burkhardt Fellows as examples of the significant variety of such scholarship.

Schedule Proposals should show evidence of significant preliminary work already completed, and a plan of work, typically in the five-year range, to be carried out. Assurance will be required from the administrative leadership of the scholar's home institution (dean, provost, president, or other appropriate person) that the applicant is an especially promising member of its humanities faculty, and that the institution is prepared to make its own contributions—beyond providing normal fringe benefits during the fellowship year—to assist the scholar in bringing the project to completion. (See below.)

The overall structure of support would thus include:

1. An academic-year's leave funded by ACLS under the Burkhardt Fellowship program, with a stipend of $95,000 plus other funds for scholarship and relocation, and residence (not including lodging costs) at one of the participating residential centers. To accommodate fellows' personal schedules, these centers and libraries have agreed to permit successful applicants to specify one of the succeeding three years for residency and to hold a place for them; applicants will be required to adhere to that schedule.

2. A summer's support (usually estimated at 2/9 salary) and/or equivalent reduction of teaching and administrative duties at some point in the post-fellowship stage, funded by the home institution.

3. Since projects are expected to be long term, and since these fellowships offer a high level of salary support, work plans should be designed to take maximum advantage of existing leave and/or sabbatical policies at home institutions; that is, these fellowships should be viewed as incremental to institutionally approved leave policies rather than substituting for them. Such institutionally granted research support could be used for the final effort necessary to bring the project to completion.

Participating Residential Research Centers The participating centers are:American Academy in Rome (Rome, Italy)American Antiquarian Society (Worcester, MA)Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (Stanford, CA)Folger Shakespeare Library (Washington, DC)Huntington Library (San Marino, CA)Institute for Advanced Study, Central European University (Budapest, Hungary)Institute for Advanced Study, Schools of Historical Studies and Social Science (Princeton, NJ)John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress (Washington, DC)National Humanities Center (Research Triangle Park, NC)Newberry Library (Chicago, IL)Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study (Cambridge, MA) Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study (Uppsala, Sweden) Villa I Tatti (Florence, Italy)

Applicants must specify the particular center or research library where they hope to go into residence and the year of the proposed residency in their application materials, and provide a rationale as to why that center or library is best suited to advance the project. (Applicants also must select one alternate site in their application should their first choice be unable to accommodate them.)

There are two exceptions. Applicants who have previously held a Rome Prize may not apply for residency at the American Academy in Rome. Villa I Tatti will accept applications only for residency in 2017-18.

REFERENCE LETTERS and INSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT OFA HELP

PLEASE NOTE: You MUST ENTER YOUR REFEREES on the Reference Letters page BEFORE they can log in to use the online references system. Please do not ask them to access the system until you have done this. Once you have entered the information and clicked the "send email" button, an email will be automatically generated with appropriate instructions to the referee.

Three letters of reference and one institutional statement are required.

1. REFERENCE LETTERS. We suggest that you secure as referees scholars competent to judge both the present research proposal and your past scholarship; further, that not more than one referee be affiliated with your own institution. ACLS does not accept reference letters from dossier services, such as Interfolio or university-based services. Why?

For your information, referees are asked to comment on the applicant as a scholar and professional, and on the degree to which the specific proposal to ACLS represents a genuinely ambitious, distinguished, and long-term contribution to humanistic scholarship. They are asked to evaluate the scholar's achievements and ability to conduct and complete the project proposed, as well as the importance of this project within the general and specific field(s) to which it relates.

2. INSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT. In addition to three letters of reference, we require a statement from a senior official of your home institution (dean, provost, president, or other appropriate person) regarding your promise as a member of the humanities faculty and the contributions the institution will make if your application is successful.

The provided form asks the administrative leadership of your institution to affirm that the applicant is an especially promising member of its humanities faculty, and that the institution is prepared: 1) to provide normal fringe benefits during the fellowship year, and 2) to provide a summer's support (usually estimated at 2/9 salary) and/or equivalent reduction of teaching and administrative duties at some point in the post-fellowship stage.

Letters of reference and the institutional statement must be submitted online. It is your responsibility to convey information about your proposal to your referees. After your referees have agreed to write on your behalf:

Tell your referees to expect an email from ACLS.Make absolutely certain you have the correct email address for each referee.Enter each referee's name and email address by clicking on the "Add Referee" link at the bottom of this page. Please capitalize the name properly.Once you have entered the information and clicked the "send email" button, an email will be automatically generated with appropriate instructions to the referee.It is not necessary to enter all referees at the same time. You can return to this screen at any time to enter referees.Your referees will not receive an email to begin this process until you have entered the information and clicked the "send email" button.

No more than three letters of reference and one institutional statement will be accepted.

Enter only the required number of referees. It is possible to enter additional referees, but you should do this only if you learn that a referee is unable to complete the promised letter.The first three reference letters and the first institutional statement submitted willbe the letters on file in support of your application. Once the maximum number has been submitted, another referee attempting to submit a letter for you will be prevented from doing so. Be careful not to put anyone in this situation.
