Rockefeller Foundation Offers Fellowships to Promote New Work in the Humanities -In 2004-2005, Rockefeller Resident Fellowships in the Humanities will be offered at twenty-one host instsitutions selected for their potential to promote new work in the humanities. Host institutions, which include academic departments, interdisciplinary programs, museums, research libraries, and community cultural centers, encourage interaction between the visiting fellows and their own scholarly communities, and make libraries, special collections, and other facilities/resources available to specialized areas of research.

The fellowships are meant to serve scholars who are testing disciplinary boundaries or moving into newer fields of inquiry within the humanities. Although the majority of the fellow's time will be spent pursuing his/her own research toward publication, the residency may involve participation in seminars, conferences, or other collaborative activities within the host program. Awards may not be used for the completion of graduate studies, for advanced training, or for writing poetry or fiction.

Eligibility requirements, stipends, application procedures, and deadlines are available directly from the host institution.
