New Directions Fellowship

Mellon Foundation (fka Andrew W. Mellon)

Three-year fellowship for exceptional faculty in the humanities and humanistic social sciences who received their doctorates between 2012 and 2018. Fellows pursue systematic training and academic competencies outside their own special fields to advance a cross-disciplinary research agenda.
The award consists of: 

• The equivalent of one academic year's salary
• Two summers of additional support, each at the equivalent two-ninths of the previous academic year salary
• Tuition or course fees or equivalent direct costs associated with the fellows' training programs 

The funds may be expended over a period not to exceed three full academic years following the date of the award. The award can be delayed for a maximum of one year. 
Priority will be given to applications that manifest 1) a strong focus on questions of social justice as they pertain to minoritized populations, or 2) an investment in filling in the gaps left by more traditional narratives in the history of the Americas.
The second field of study must be a foray into a new area of intellectual inquiry/subject and not just an enhancement of skills to go further in the primary field. Language study, technical training, or skills acquisition such as GIS mapping do not, by themselves, constitute a new direction.

Dartmouth may nominate one candidate.
