Faculty Research Fellowships: Non-Residential Program Application

 

Purpose: The Michelle R. Clayman Institute Faculty Research Fellowship Program seeks to drive intellectual and social innovation through interdisciplinary gender studies.

Eligibility: Members of the Academic Council and Members of the Medical Center Line in the Stanford faculty, who are also Faculty Affiliates of the Clayman Institute, may apply. All disciplines and fields of research are eligible. Two fellowships will be supported by the Iris F. Litt, M.D. Fund. The funds must be applied to something that is research-related; and the research must have a clear gender component. The funds may be applied to a range of activities, including:
  • research travel
  • research assistant salary
  • student intern
  • professional training (e.g. software, statistical methods)
  • buying out a course
  • bringing a collaborator to Stanford
  • costs of staging or creating an art work
  • buying in data analysis services
  • support of research-related website

Not eligible if won a fellowship or other Clayman Institute award within the last 3 years.

How to become a Faculty Affiliate.

Award: Up to twelve awards of $7,500.

Exclusions: The award is not intended to cover Summer Quarter salary, or to fund capital equipment purchases.

Applications: The Clayman Institute is committed to the principle of equal opportunity, and fair and open competition. Applicants are required to submit:
  • A curriculum vitae of no more than 2 pages
  • A proposal of no more than 1,000 words stating the purpose to which you plan to apply the funds

    • Only complete applications will be considered; other supporting papers will not be reviewed. Applications are accepted by email only at gender-applications@stanford.edu.

Deadline: November 16, 2009, 5:00pm PST.

Notification: Fellowship awards will be announced in April 2010.

Additional Information: Faculty Research Fellows are expected to participate in regularly scheduled interdisciplinary lunches at Serra House. Fellows report on their own research, discuss the work of others, hear invited speakers, and also have an opportunity to suggest a speaker.


Fellows are asked to submit a brief report at the end of the year on how their funds were spent. (No more than one page.)

In addition to pursuing their own research interests, fellows are encouraged to contribute to the Clayman Institute's broader research program in one of several ways. For example:

  • leading a seminar or workshop series;
  • participating in an Institute conference;
  • meeting with our Graduate Dissertation Fellows either to discuss their work or some aspect of professional development;
  • talking with media about their research; or
  • participating in a selection panel for faculty or graduate student awards and prizes.
The conference room at Serra House (capacity 25) is available for fellows to book for meetings and seminars at no charge.
