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 Philadelphia. In addition, the predoctoral
fellow will receive $5,000 in travel funds for outside research,
fieldwork, and/or travel, $750 relocation cost, and will receive
$10,000 to offset health insurance costs. 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.
