SUMMER RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS FOR COLLEGE TEACHERS

The Carolina and Duke Consortium in Latin American and Caribbean Studies announces its annual competition for Summer Research Fellowships. With Title VI funds from the US Department of Education, the Consortium will award at least three fellowships of up to $1,000 each to faculty from four-year colleges, HBCUs, and community colleges, to use the Duke and UNC-CH libraries and other campus resources.

PURPOSE, ELIGIBILITY, AND PRIORITIES - The fellows will be chosen in a competition targeting regional faculty from institutions of higher education in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with preference for regular faculty from four-year colleges and historically black colleges and universities. We will also give priority to proposals to create a new course on Latin America or the Caribbean, or to add substantial Latin American content to an existing course at the candidate's institution. The proposed project must have a clear focus on Latin America or the Caribbean. The project should take place between June 1 and August 14, and the length of stay should be at least one week. The awardees will be assigned to one of the two campuses.

The award pays a stipend of up to $1,000 to cover travel, living, and incidental expenses. Applicants should be US citizens or permanent residents. Applicants must be employed as faculty at an institution of higher education during the Fall following the Fellowship summer. Students, faculty, and staff of Duke University or UNC-CH are not eligible to apply.
