It also affirms our collaborative approach to teaching, scholarship, and service, in partnerships that range from local to global. This campus-wide self-study is an opportunity for UMBC to further elevate community engagement in our strategic plan for the future.</div>

    <div>Dear CAHSS faculty member,</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We invite you to submit a proposal to be nominated for the <strong><a href="https://carnegie.onlineapplicationportal.com/programinformation/?utm_source=Carnegie%20Corporation%20of%20New%20York&amp;utm_campaign=e4183a2b07-CCNY_Email_%20ACFellows_CallForNoms_08_15_2023&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_4a9f3be626-e4183a2b07-504724961." rel="nofollow external" class="bo">2025 Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program competition</a></strong>, sponsored by Carnegie Corporation of New York. <strong>Details are below</strong>.</div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>The
     purpose of the Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program is to support 
    high-caliber scholarship in the social sciences and humanities. The 2025
     program expects to provide fellowships of $200,000 to 30 exceptional 
    scholars, journalists, and public intellectuals. The funding is for a 
    period of one or two years, with the anticipated result being a book or 
    major study.</li>
    <li>UMBC may nominate two scholars for the competition:
     one "senior" and one "junior." The senior scholar must be tenured. The 
    junior scholar must have received their terminal degree in the last 10 
    years (2014-2024, for this round). </li>
    <li>Please note that Andrew Carnegie Fellowships are open only to citizens or permanent residents of the United States.</li>
    <li>The
     2025 call is on the theme of political polarization in the United 
    States. Studies of polarization in other countries will be welcomed, 
    providing they offer lessons that can be applied to the United States. 
    Please keep in mind that Carnegie seeks projects that will be written to
     communicate with a broad audience. You may find it useful to <a href="https://www.carnegie.org/awards/andrew-carnegie-fellows/2024/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">browse the projects that were awarded last year</a> since the theme (political polarization in the U.S.) is unchanged.</li>
    </ul></div>
    <div>If you are interested in being considered for the internal competition, please <strong>EMAIL</strong> the following application materials to: <a href="mailto:Carnegi.bs0ulrhjc4r5p385@u.box.com" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Carnegi.bs0ulrhjc4r5p385@u.box.com</a> by 5 pm EST on <strong>Wednesday, October 16, 2024</strong>. We urge you to contact Rachel Brubaker (<a href="mailto:rbruba1@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">rbruba1@umbc.edu</a>), CARAT Associate Director, as soon as possible to discuss your proposal.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Your application materials must include:</strong></div>
    <div><ol>
    <li>A
     3-5 page, double-spaced prospectus describing the project, including a 
    projected work plan and approximate time frame. Fellowships will be for 
    12 or 24 months and must begin on the first of the month between June 
    and September of 2025, and no later than September 1, 2025. Note that 
    the Carnegie program allows flexibility in how you manage your time 
    commitment. You may opt for a regular fellowship leave, or decide to 
    teach part-time during the semester while working full-time on your 
    project during the summer.</li>
    <li>Curriculum vitae</li>
    <li>Estimate
     of budgetary requirement. Funds may support: salary and fringe 
    benefits, project-related travel (research, conferences), research 
    assistants (hourly or stipend), other project needs (i.e., data 
    collection, surveys, transcription, project supplies, consultant, 
    contractual service/s, etc.). </li>
    </ol></div>
    <div>The Dean's Office 
    will review the applications and select one or two scholars to recommend
     to the President as UMBC’s nominee(s) <strong>by October 23rd</strong>. The nominee(s) will work with CARAT (specifically, Rachel Brubaker)<strong> to complete the full application process and to forward materials to the President’s Office by November 1st</strong>. Nominees must submit their applications to the Carnegie Corporation of New York <strong>by November 08, 2024</strong> (5:00 P.M. EST).</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The Carnegie jury will evaluate nominations by the following criteria:</div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>Originality and promise of the idea</li>
    <li>Quality of the proposal</li>
    <li>Promise to offer means to reduce harmful polarization or to enhance social cohesion</li>
    <li>Record of the nominee</li>
    <li>Plans to communicate findings to a broad audience</li>
    </ul></div>
    <h5>For additional questions, please contact Associate Dean Preminda Jacob, <a href="mailto:pjacob2@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">pjacob2@umbc.edu</a>, or Rachel Brubaker, <a href="mailto:rbruba1@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">rbruba1@umbc.edu</a>. </h5>

<Title>CALL FOR PROPOSALS: 2025 Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program</Title>
<Tagline>UMBC Competition Deadline is October 16, 2024</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Dear CAHSS faculty member,</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We invite you to submit a proposal to be nominated for the <strong><a href="https://carnegie.onlineapplicationportal.com/programinformation/?utm_source=Carnegie%20Corporation%20of%20New%20York&amp;utm_campaign=e4183a2b07-CCNY_Email_%20ACFellows_CallForNoms_08_15_2023&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_4a9f3be626-e4183a2b07-504724961." rel="nofollow external" class="bo">2025 Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program competition</a></strong>, sponsored by Carnegie Corporation of New York. <strong>Details are below</strong>.</div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>The purpose of the Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program is to support high-caliber scholarship in the social sciences and humanities. The 2025 program expects to provide fellowships of $200,000 to 30 exceptional scholars, journalists, and public intellectuals. The funding is for a period of one or two years, with the anticipated result being a book or major study.</li>
    <li>UMBC may nominate two scholars for the competition: one "senior" and one "junior." The senior scholar must be tenured. The junior scholar must have received their terminal degree in the last 10 years (2014-2024, for this round). </li>
    <li>Please note that Andrew Carnegie Fellowships are open only to citizens or permanent residents of the United States.</li>
    <li>The 2025 call is on the theme of political polarization in the United States. Studies of polarization in other countries will be welcomed, providing they offer lessons that can be applied to the United States. Please keep in mind that Carnegie seeks projects that will be written to communicate with a broad audience. You may find it useful to <a href="https://www.carnegie.org/awards/andrew-carnegie-fellows/2024/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">browse the projects that were awarded last year</a> since the theme (political polarization in the U.S.) is unchanged.</li>
    </ul></div>
    <div>If you are interested in being considered for the internal competition, please <strong>EMAIL</strong> the following application materials to: <a href="mailto:Carnegi.bs0ulrhjc4r5p385@u.box.com" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Carnegi.bs0ulrhjc4r5p385@u.box.com</a> by 5 pm EST on <strong>Wednesday, October 16, 2024</strong>.

    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Your application materials must include:</strong></div>
    <div><ol>
    <li>A 3-5 page, double-spaced prospectus describing the project, including a projected work plan and approximate time frame. Fellowships will be for 12 or 24 months and must begin on the first of the month between June and September of 2025, and no later than September 1, 2025. Note that the Carnegie program allows flexibility in how you manage your time commitment. You may opt for a regular fellowship leave, or decide to teach part-time during the semester while working full-time on your project during the summer.</li>
    <li>Curriculum vitae</li>
    <li>Estimate of budgetary requirement. Funds may support: salary and fringe benefits, project-related travel (research, conferences), research assistants (hourly or stipend), other project needs (i.e., data collection, surveys, transcription, project supplies, consultant, contractual service/s, etc.). </li>
    </ol></div>
