Deadline: 5:00 p.m., November 30, 2018

IPRH is pleased to announce that its 2019–20 Fellowship year will be a themeless one. IPRH occasionally suspends its fellowship theme, as was the case for the 2014–15 academic year. 

The projects proposed to IPRH for 2019–20 Fellowships may investigate any subject. The proposals will be evaluated on the scholarly excellence and promise of the project, the applicant’s preparation/readiness to undertake the proposed research, the quality of the narrative proposal, the case made for how the IPRH experience/seminar would be beneficial to the project, and the letters of support.

IPRH welcomes applications from all disciplines and departments with an interest in humanities and humanities-inflected research. IPRH is especially interested in fostering interdisciplinary work, both within the humanistic disciplines, and between the humanities and the arts.

All Fellows are expected to maintain residence on the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus during the award year, and to participate in IPRH activities, including the yearlong Fellows Seminar.

Complete fellowship application guidelines for 2019–20 can be found on the IPRH website (Faculty / Graduate Students). Applications must be submitted through an online application portal. No paper or emailed applications or letters of recommendation will be accepted.

The submission portal will open on September 1st.

Questions about these fellowships may be addressed to IPRH Deputy Director Nancy Castro (ncastro@illinois.edu).
