Description:

Mellon Foundation Native American Scholars Initiative (NASI) Predoctoral
Fellowship

These funding opportunities are part of the Native American Scholars
Initiative (NASI), supported by the Mellon Foundation.  Fellows will be based
at the Library & Museum's Center for Native American and Indigenous Research
(CNAIR), which aims to promote greater collaboration between scholars,
archives, and indigenous communities throughout the Americas.

This 12-month residential fellowship is intended for an advanced doctoral
degree student working toward the completion of the dissertation. Applications
are open to scholars in any field and all periods of time. Preference will be
given to those who have sustained personal engagement or experience with
Indigenous communities. The caliber of the proposal, and evidence that the
project will be completed in a timely manner, are the two most important
criteria for evaluation. The selection committee will also take into
consideration the need to be at the APS's Library & Museum and other research
institutions in the Philadelphia area.

A stipend of $25,000 for twelve months will be awarded to the successful
applicant, who will also have desk space at the American Philosophical
Society. In addition, the predoctoral fellow will receive $5,000 in travel
funds for outside research, fieldwork, and/or travel, and will receive a
$15,000 stipend to purchase health insurance. Fellows will also partake in the
intellectual life of the Society and have opportunities to receive
professional development, including works-in-progress seminars, a writing
workshop, career mentoring, and conference participation.

Eligibility:
This fellowship is open to those who are not U.S. citizens or residents, but
it does not provide visa sponsorship.

Terms:
 - 12 month residential fellowship
 - $25,000 living stipend
 - $15,000 health insurance stipend 
 - $5,000 travel/research fund

Application Instructions:
All application materials will be submitted online. Applicants will submit:
 - C.V.
 - Dissertation proposal (2-4 pages)
 - A sample chapter from their dissertation not to exceed 25 double-spaced
pages
 - An introductory cover letter that discusses their past and current work
proposed to be completed on the fellowship
 - A short statement, no more than one page, describing the extent of their
experience working collaboratively within an Indigenous community or as a
member of an Indigenous community
 - Three letters of reference in support of the project and applicant. For
those working on a community-based project, a letter of support from the
indigenous community where the work is based is highly recommended
