Grants & Fellowships

Native American Scholars Initiative (NASI)

American Philosophical Society, Philadelphia, PA/USA

scholars-initiative-nasi-fellowships 

 

The American Philosophical Society invites applications for predoctoral,
postdoctoral, and short-term research fellowships from scholars at all
stages of their careers, especially Native American scholars in training,
tribal college and university faculty members, and other scholars working
closely with Native communities on projects in Native American and
Indigenous Studies and related fields and disciplines. 

 

These funding opportunities are supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
Native American Scholars Initiative (NASI). Fellows will be associated with
the APS's Center for Native American and Indigenous Research (CNAIR), which
promotes greater collaboration among scholars, archives, and indigenous
communities.

 

The APS Library & Museum's collections make it among the premier
institutions for documenting and exhibiting the history of the American
Revolution and founding, the history of science from Newton to NASA, Native
American and Indigenous languages and culture, and the development of
American anthropology. The Library & Museum houses over 13 million
manuscripts; 350,000 volumes of printed materials and bound periodicals;
250,000 images, fine art, and other objects; thousands of maps and prints;
and more than 3,500 hours of audio recordings.

 

Comprehensive, searchable guides and finding aids to our collections are
available online at www.amphilsoc.org/library
<http://www.amphilsoc.org/library>  and
http://amphilsoc.pastperfectonline.com/.

The grants are intended for such costs as travel, tapes, films, and
consultants' fees. Grants are not made for projects in archaeology,
ethnography, or psycholinguistics; for the purchase of permanent equipment;
or for the preparation of pedagogical materials. The committee distinguishes
ethnohistory from contemporary ethnography as the study of cultures and
cultural change through time.
