Deadline: 28-Sep-22
The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) is inviting research proposals from scholars in all disciplines of the humanities and related social sciences.
ACLS aims to select fellows who are broadly representative of the variety of humanistic scholarship across all fields of study. They also believe that diversity enhances scholarship and seek to recognize academic excellence from all sectors of higher education and beyond.
The ultimate goal of the project should be a major piece of scholarly work by the applicant, which can take the form of a monograph, articles, digital research project, critical edition, or other scholarly resources. The fellowships support projects at any stage of development. This program does not fund works of fiction (e.g., novels or films), textbooks, straightforward translation, or pedagogical projects.

- The fellowship stipend is set at $60,000 for a 12-month fellowship. Awards of shorter duration will be prorated at $5,000 per month, with the minimum award set at $30,000.
