Scholarship Description: The Center offers a residential fellowship program for scholars from this country and abroad. Since 1954, CASBS fellowships have been awarded to scholars working in a diverse range of disciplines. These include the five core social and behavioral sciences (anthropology, economics, political science, psychology, and sociology) as well as a wide range of humanistic disciplines, education, linguistics, communications, and the biological, natural, health, and computer sciences. CASBS is a collaborative environment. We aim to bring disciplines into contact with each other-to broaden scholars beyond their specialized training. We seek fellows who will be both influential with, and open to influence by, their colleagues in the diverse multidisciplinary cohort we assemble for a given year.
Duration of award(s): In special circumstances a fellowship may be awarded for the fall or spring semester. Preference, however, is given to fellows able to stay for the nine-month academic year. This is because of the importance to all of our programs of developing a community and building relationships. They are most likely to be flexible with respect to length of stay for fellows who are members of group projects.
What does it cover? As appropriate, stipends for the academic year will be awarded to supplement faculty sabbatical support; a significant portion of the fellow’s total support is generally provided by sabbatical funds and external funding from awards and grants secured by the fellow. Except in unusual circumstances, Center stipend support is contingent on the applicant’s provision of firm assurances of matching funds. Depending on available funds, the Center provides stipends according to the following principles:
-A Center stipend is based on the fellow’s academic salary for the year before residence.
-That stipend cannot exceed one-half of the fellow’s academic year (nine-month) base salary for that year and is additionally subject to an upper limit set by the CASBS Board of Directors.
-The cap is currently set at $70,000.
-The sum of the fellow’s salary from a home institution and a Center stipend may not exceed the fellow’s base academic salary for the fellowship year.
-Fellows receive their stipend payments directly; the Center cannot assign a fellow’s stipend to a third party or institution.
Selection Criteria: Several reviewers, including experts in the applicant’s field(s), evaluate each application that meets our basic criteria. The Center’s Fellow Selection Committee, consisting of members from the CASBS Board of Directors and past CASBS fellows, consider the best-rated applications for CASBS fellowship awards. Final roster decisions (for all scholars requesting consideration, including past fellows) take into account a range of criteria for cohort composition, including but not limited to: disciplinary balance, institutional diversity, and demographic diversity (race/ethnicity, gender, career stage, nationality, and geographic location). Please note that priority in individual applicant selection will be given to first-time fellows.
Notification: Notifications regarding the 2016-17 fellowship awards will be sent via e-mail in February 2016.
How to Apply: The mode of applying is online. List of materials to accompany individual applications:
-Full curriculum vitae (or résumé)
-Personal statement (500 word limit)
-If applicable, a statement of your project’s fit with one of our partner fellowship programs (150-250 words)

Scholarship Application Deadline: The application deadline is November 6, 2015.
