These competitive fellowships offer a $25,000 fund to tenure-track faculty in the creative arts and humanities at UO. The awards will go to highly productive tenure-track faculty working in humanistic areas:

• (a) for scholarly materials, travel, and other research expenses (copy editors, indexers, research assistants, subvention fees, etc.);
• (b) as summer, sabbatical, or fellowship salary;
• (c) or to cover the cost of a course release, with departmental approval, during the academic year. 

The open-purpose funding permits scholars to put the award to its best use depending upon where they are in their progress on a given project; if taken as salary, the $25,000 will include OPE. Please contact Rachel Kahn with questions: raj@uoregon.edu.
