A detailed narrative statement (2,000 words) describing the research project the applicant will undertake during the term of the fellowship.

Three (3) letters of recommendation to be uploaded by the applicant’s referees. We recommend entering your recommenders’ names and emails early in the online application process. The application system will generate an email request for letters of recommendation to those referees whose names and emails you submit, and the email will provide a link to the recipient for uploading the letter. Please note that you must enter your personal contact information first before you can proceed to entering references. Once this information is entered (and one clicks "continue" at the close of the reference-letter section), the designated referees should receive an email requesting their letters and containing a unique link at which they may be uploaded. Reference letters must be submitted via this link. please maintain communication with referees to ensure they have received the emails with links and are aware of the deadline. Applications for which all three letters of recommendation have not been uploaded by midnight Central Time on October 28th will be deemed incomplete and will not be considered.
The letters of recommendation should come from senior colleagues who are familiar with the applicant’s work and the proposal being made for the fellowship. Letters must address the specifics of the project being proposed for the fellowship, the applicant’s research and teaching skills, and the contributions the proposed project would make to the broader scholarly community. (Only three letters will be accepted.) Because the letters must address the specifics of the proposal and the position being sought, we strongly discourage applicants from sending general dossier files.

IPRH welcomes applications from scholars in all disciplines and departments with an interest in humanities and humanities-inflected research.

IPRH is especially interested in fostering interdisciplinary work.
Applications must be submitted online at this URL: https://my.atlas. illinois.edu/submit/go.asp?id=613. Applicants will be asked to create a password-protected account, to which they can return multiple times. The application system opens in September, 2013. No paper or emailed applications will be accepted. the online
application must be completed and submitted no later than midnight on December 6, 2013. Referees must submit their letters of reference
by this deadline as well. Please note that IPRH staff will not be available for trouble-shooting after the close of business on December 6, so IPRH strongly recommends applicants submit their materials well before 4:30 p.m. on the 6th.
in addition to completing the online application form, applicants must
submit the following materials through the online system (documents should be double-spaced, and in 12-point Times New Roman font):
• A 100-word abstract with project title • A current curriculum vitae (maximum 10 pages) • A statement of 2,000 words describing the faculty member’s research on the proposed project (materials that exceed the required length will not be considered). • A pdf of a signed EO Approval Form (form downloadable from the
IPRH website) • Two (2) letters of recommendation to be uploaded by the applicant’s referees. IPRH recommends entering recommenders’ names and emails early in the online application process. The application system will generate an email request for letters to those whose names and emails the applicant submits, and the email will provide a link for uploading the letter. Please note that applicants must enter their personal contact information first before they can proceed to entering references. Doing so enables the system to insert the applicant’s name in the email request to referees. In order for the system to generate those emails, however, the applicant must click "continue" after entering referees’ names and emails—even if nothing else is to be done in the application at that time.

Faculty members are likewise prohibited from holding IPRH fellowships and Center for Advanced Study, or other campus release-time awards simultaneously. Only full-time tenured and tenure-track U of I faculty are eligible to apply for the awards. Applicants should make certain that their teaching and research obligations do not prevent them from participating fully in IPRH activities, and should identify in the narrative statement any other applications being made for either sabbatical leave or for other campus or external grants and fellowships.
the applications will be reviewed by the members of the IPRH Advisory Committee, who will make their award recommendations to IPRH; the IPRH Director and Associate Director serve on the committee in an ex officio capacity. Submissions will be evaluated on the following criteria: scholarly promise of the project and the applicant’s preparation to undertake the proposed research, the quality of the narrative proposal, and the letters of support.
online applications must be complete and submitted, including all
letters of support uploaded, by midnight on December 6, 2013, after which the application portal closes. the application system can be found at https://my.atlas.illinois.edu/submit/go.asp?id=613. Deadline extensions will not be granted. The review committee will consider only complete applications. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that all documentation is complete, and that referees submit their letters before the deadline. Be sure that the application documents are complete, and please proofread all materials carefully, as no changes are possible once you click "submit." IPRH strongly recommends submissions be made prior to 4:30 p.m. on the day of the deadline, as IPRH staff will not be available to assist with troubleshooting after close of business on Friday, December 6.
All applications will be acknowledged via e-mail, and all applicants will be notified in the latter part of the spring 2014 semester, when
the search has concluded. Please do not contact IPRH about the status of an application; because of the volume of applications IPRH receives, we are unable to answer questions about individual applications.

THE IMMEDIATE, CONCRETE PAYOFF OF THE FELLOWSHIP WAS THAT IT GAVE ME THE TIME AND MENTAL SPACE TO FOCUS ON MY BOOK AT A CENTRAL MOMENT IN ITS DEVELOPMENT, WHILE ALSO DRAFTING A RELATED ARTICLE. HOWEVER, THROUGH THE STIMULATING DISCUSSIONS OF THE SEMINAR, THE FELLOWSHIP’S BROADER IMPACT WAS TO INTRODUCE ME TO A WIDE RANGE OF INTERDISCIPLINARY METHODS AND SUBJECTS THAT ExPANDED MY SENSE OF THE INTELLECTUAL POSSIBILITIES OF OUR SHARED SCHOLARLY TERRAIN. Catharine Gray, English and IPRH Faculty Fellow 2012–13
Applications are invited from current U of i graduate students
for selection as IPRH Graduate Student Fellows for the 2014–15 academic year. The fellowship will enable advanced graduate students to develop their dissertations or research projects and to participate in the year’s activities, including the yearlong interdisciplinary Fellows Seminar and related programming. Graduate Student Fellows receive a $10,000 stipend and a tuition and fee waiver. IPRH welcomes applications from scholars in all disciplines and departments with an interest in humanities and humanities-inflected research. The projects proposed to IPRH for 2014–15 Fellowships may investigate any subject, and the proposals will be evaluated on their scholarly excellence. IPRH is especially interested in fostering interdisciplinary work.
Applications must be submitted online at this URL: https://my.atlas. illinois.edu/submit/go.asp?id=614. Applicants will be asked to create a password-protected account, to which they can return multiple times. The application system opens in September 2013. No paper or emailed applications will be accepted. the online application must
be completed and submitted no later than midnight on December 6, 2013. Referees must submit their letters of reference by this deadline as
well. Please note that IPRH staff will not be available for trouble-shooting after the close of business on December 6, so IPRH strongly recommends applicants submit their materials well before 4:30 p.m. on the 6th.
in addition to completing the online application form, applicants must submit the following materials through the online application system
(documents should be double-spaced, and in 12-point Times New Roman font):
• A 100-word abstract with project title • A current curriculum vitae, including a list of all graduate courses taken, papers published, presentations made, and assistantships and fellowships held (maximum 5 pages).
• A statement of 2,000 words describing the student’s research on the proposed project, including preparation to undertake this research and all progress on the project to date (materials that exceed the required length will not be considered).
• A pdf of the student’s official transcript, which has been emailed to the student directly from the registrar’s office (rather than scanned from a paper copy). The applicants must request this electronic delivery from the registrar’s office.
• Two (2) letters of recommendation to be uploaded by the applicant’s referees, one of which must come from the faculty member supervising the student’s dissertation or equivalent research. Recommendation letters should speak to the applicant’s abilities and achievements, to his/her progress on the project, and to the intellectual value of the project itself.
IPRH recommends entering recommenders’ names and emails early in the online application process. The application system will generate an email request for letters to those whose names and emails the applicant submits, and the email will provide a link for uploading the letter. Please note that applicants must enter their personal contact information first before they can proceed to entering references. Doing so enables the system to insert the applicant’s name in the email request to referees. In order for the system to generate those emails, however, the applicant must click "continue" after entering referees’ names and emails—even if nothing else is to be done in the application at that time. Applications for which both letters of recommendation have not been uploaded by midnight on December 6, 2013 will be deemed incomplete and will not be considered. All letters must be uploaded through the application portal. No paper or emailed copies will be accepted.
