Applications are now being accepted for the Center for Social Science Scholarship Summer Fellowship. The purpose of this fellowship is to support significant social science research by tenure-track or tenured faculty in the UMBC College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences, resulting in a submittable product by December 2023. Up to three fellows will receive a $6,000 award during the summer of 2023.

By December 2023, each Fellow agrees to complete a submittable product, which can include an external grant or fellowship proposal, journal article, policy paper, book manuscript, or book chapter; upon completion, Fellows shall provide a copy of this submitted product to the Director of the Center for Social Science Scholarship. Fellows who are preparing an external proposal are expected to work with CS3's research administration staff for pre- and post-award assistance.

Interested faculty should complete and submit an application consisting of this downloadable 2-page cover sheet and proposal that adheres to the specified guidelines. The deadline for applications is FEBRUARY 15, 2023.

Applications will be reviewed and ranked by members of the Center for Social Science Scholarship Advisory Board, according to the following criteria:

Significance of the project in its field;

Publishing/funding potential of the work;

Qualification of the faculty member to carry out the work, including the requisite expertise in the topic area and prior research productivity;
