Funding Source: Institute of International Residence (IIE) Program
Title: Scholar-in-Residence (SIR) Program
Program: The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (S-I-R) Program enables U.S. colleges and universities to host scholars from other countries to assist them in internationalizing their campuses, curriculum and communities.
Fulbright Scholars-in-Residence teach in their areas of scholarly expertise generally at the undergraduate level and consult on curriculum and program development. Their activities may also contribute to world area and global studies programs. In addition, Scholars-in-Residence are expected to participate in other on-campus and community activities. While their primary focus is to strengthen the host institution's international perspective and broaden institutional cooperation, the grants also afford the Scholars-in-Residence an opportunity to enhance their understanding of the United States.
In their applications submitted to the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES), U.S. colleges and universities can propose to host a scholar for either one semester or an academic year. The scholar can be in most academic disciplines provided that the courses taught offer an international perspective. Institutions can propose a specific candidate, or CIES can work with U.S. embassies and Fulbright commissions abroad to recruit a scholar whose background is appropriate for the proposed activities.

Funding Source: ACLS
Title: Collaborative Research
Program: ACLS invites applications for the fourth annual competition for the ACLS Collaborative Research Fellowships for collaborative research in the humanities and related social sciences. The aim of this fellowship program is to offer small teams of two or more scholars the opportunity to collaborate intensively on a single, substantive project. The fellowship supports projects that aim to produce a tangible research product (such as joint print or web publications) for which two or more collaborators will take credit.
Appropriate fields of specialization include but are not limited to American studies; anthropology; archaeology; art and architectural history; classics; economics; film; geography; history; languages and literatures; legal studies; linguistics; musicology; philosophy; political science; psychology; religious studies; rhetoric, communication, and media studies; sociology; and theater, dance, and performance studies. Proposals in the social science fields listed above are eligible only if they employ predominantly humanistic approaches (e.g., economic history, law and literature, political theory). Proposals in interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary studies are welcome, as are proposals focused on any geographic region or on any cultural or linguistic group.
