The purpose of the Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program is to support high-caliber scholarship in the social sciences and humanities, enabling recipients to devote time to research and writing that addresses pressing issues and cultural transitions affecting us at home and abroad.

Each nominator may put forward a maximum of two scholars. Nominators from universities may nominate one junior and one senior scholar. A junior scholar is defined as someone who received his/her PhD within the last ten years (2008-2018) for the 2018 fellowship program.

Pre-nominations can be made by Departmental or Unit chairs and take the form of a letter describing how a particular faculty member’s research addresses one of the following four topic areas:

• Strengthening U.S. democracy and exploring new narratives
• Technological and cultural creativity—potential and perils
• Global connections and global ruptures
• Environments, natural and human

Application Instructions

• a 1-to-2 page letter of intent describing how a particular faculty member’s research addresses one of the four topic areas.
• Biosketch or CV of the PI to research@uw.edu by 5:00 PM on Thursday, October 19, 2017. Nominations are due to the sponsor by 11/17/17.
