The National Humanities Center

National Humanities Center, Research Triangle Park, NC

The National Humanities Center offers 40 residential fellowships for advanced study. Applicants must hold doctorate or have equivalent scholarly credentials, and a record of publication is expected. Both senior and younger scholars are eligible for fellowships, but the latter should be engaged in research beyond the subject of their doctoral dissertations. Fellowships are normally for the full academic year.
Fellowships are open to scholars from any nation and to humanistically inclined individuals from the natural and social sciences, the arts, the professions, and public life as well as from all fields of the humanities.

Located in the Research Triangle Park of North Carolina, near Chapel Hill, Durham, and Raleigh, the Center provides an environment for individual research and the exchange of ideas among scholars. Its facilities include private studies for Fellows, conference rooms, a central commons for dining, lounges, reading areas, a reference library, and a Fellows' workroom with microfilm reader, laser printers, fax machine, access to electronic catalogues, e-mail, and the World Wide Web.

The library staff orders and delivers books and research materials for Fellows. The Center's staff also provides editorial and software assistance and support for information technology. The Center assists Fellows in locating housing in the neighboring communities.

While most of the Center's fellowships are unrestricted, the following designated awards are available for the academic year 2001-02: two or three fellowships for scholarship concerning nature, environmental history, or ecological concerns; a fellowship in art history or visual culture; a fellowship in the twentieth-century biomedical history.

Fellowships ranging from $30,000 to $50,000 are individually determined, the amount of a stipend depending upon the needs of the Fellow and upon the Center's ability to meet them. The Center cannot in most instances replace full salaries, and Fellows bring partial funding in the form of sabbatical salaries or grants from other sources. In addition to stipends, the Center provides travel expenses for Fellows and their dependents to and from North Carolina.
