Faculty Fellowships

Faculty Fellowships

ARI Research Fellowships provide faculty in the Arts Division with one course replacement in order to pursue their research. Award recipients will be designated ARI Fellows and are required to deliver a public lecture or hold a seminar on a topic related to their research during their tenure as fellows. The award does not provide for release from summer teaching, nor does it provide a salary supplement. It will be calculated as a replacement cost for one course, and awarded funds must be expended within twelve months of the announcement of the award. Faculty may receive this award once every five years. Up to three awards will be given to ladder rank faculty. A complete application should include:

  • a project description (2-3 pages, double-spaced, see instructions below)
  • a brief curriculum vitae (2 pages maximum)
  • a letter from the applicant's department/program chair, indicating approval of release time, and quarter approved, if an award is made

Project Description Guidelines for all Arts Research Institute Programs:

The project description should:

  • state the objectives, ideas, and methodology of the project
  • discuss the project's significance and originality with reference to current scholarship and/or arts practice
  • specify the interdisciplinary scope of the project, if appropriate 
  • include a timetable and work plan, specifying project activities in the proposed award period
  • define the project's target audience(s) and the form(s) in which the research will eventually disseminated (e.g. book, article, art exhibit, performance, etc.)
