Suggestions for finding funding for Faculty Fellowships

FIND YOUR FELLOWSHIP

1. Talk with colleagues in your department, including the department Chair. Often, they’ll know of the fellowships most popular and/or best suited to the department and may know individuals who have applied for them, or they may have applied themselves.
   
   

2. Subscribe to the CoLA RSO Grants Digest monthly publication that curates helpful lists of opportunities, including many faculty external fellowships geared toward Humanities and Social Sciences.
   
   

3. Head to the Pivot Funding Database and search directly for External Fellowships

   1. Keywords: Faculty, Fellowship, Humanities, Social Sciences

   2. Use the ‘Refine search’ option to further specify area of interest, research or specific need
      
      

4. Check out the OVPR Find Funding page to learn about external limited submission opportunities, Open Call Funding and other opportunities.
   
   

5. Do a general Internet search for Faculty Research Fellowships to see additional lists of fellowships maintained (or offered) by other universities, as well as by foundations and partner organizations.
