Deadline Approaching for HRI Research Fellowships!
Humanities Research Institute Annual Fellowships, 2014-15
The Humanities Research Institute announces the 2014-15 Humanities
Research Fellowships to faculty members at the University of Regina and
federated colleges. Full-time continuing faculty are eligible to apply.
The HRI supports research in traditional humanities disciplines as well
as in philosophical, historical, and ethical, contexts
across academic disciplines. The humanities are not conceived as a
specific group of subject areas but include all forms of study that
examine the human condition. Humanities researchers are engaged in
questions that address human
thought, experience, and creativity.
Fellows will be expected to conduct research, be active participants in
the HRI community, present their research at an
HRI-organized event, and organize an activity or series of activities as
part of the HRI’s programming (e.g., a lecture, seminar series, or
similar).
Up to three $4,000 research awards will be granted for the period July
1, 2014-June 30, 2015. Additional funds,
up to a maximum of $1,000, will be provided to fellowship holders to
assist with the organization of the activity/activities. This activity
need not be directly linked to the proposed research (e.g., the activity
could be an invited lecturer who discusses interpretive dance and the
proposed research is on developing theatrical lighting theories).
Application Criteria
-Specific research aims, activities, and outcomes that can be achieved
during tenure of the award should be identified.
These may be linked to longer-term research projects: the relationship
between the one-year award and the larger project should be made clear.
-A detailed budget is required. Expenses supported are those typically
associated with the conduct of research. Ineligible
expenses include: equipment; travel for the purposes of dissemination
(e.g., to present at conferences) or to attend conferences and academic
meetings; and publication-related costs.
-For projects in non-traditional humanities disciplines, the
relationship to the humanities must be clearly articulated.
-The proposed activity (lecture, seminar series, or similar) must be
outlined, including an estimated budget. Other
sources of funding (department, faculty, or other source) above the
$1,000 provided by the HRI should be detailed.
Formal Application Process
Applications must be combined into a single file and be provided in PDF
format and must include:
1. a curriculum vitae;
2. a detailed statement of the research proposal. Maximum two pages;
3. a descriptive title and abstract of 75 words;
4. a budget, with justification where necessary. Maximum one page; and
5. a description and budget for the activity/activities (lecture,
seminar series, etc.). Maximum one page.
Incomplete applications will not be considered.
