Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program

Limited Submissions

The Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program provides $6 million annually for research that explores causes and effects and potential solutions to important national challenges. The funds support high-caliber research and writing and can be used for travel, hiring research assistants, and taking sabbaticals.

In a departure from previous years of the fellowship that supported a broad range of research topics, the single theme for the next three years of applications is political polarization in the United States. The foundation’s goal is to help Americans understand how and why our society has become so polarized and what can be done to strengthen the forces of cohesion.

Eligibility Requirements

Regardless of title, a junior scholar is defined as someone who received a Ph.D. within the last ten years (2013–2023 for the 2024 fellowship program).

Application Instructions

Please submit:

  1. A one‐page letter of intent with a description of proposed aims and approach.
  2. If the final application requires a diversity statement or statement of broader impacts, please summarize your plans to address the specific requirements on an additional page.
  3. CV (not biosketch) of the PI.
  4. A letter of nomination from the Dean or Chair that includes verification of the candidate’s start date. This letter of support signifies that the Dean or Chair have ensured that the nominee and application are likely to be of sufficient quality to be competitive nationally. Please be sure to address the funder’s stated selection criteria.

to limitedsubs@uw.edu by 5:00 PM Friday, September 29, 2023. If given the go-ahead by the limited submissions review committee, nominations are due to the sponsor 11/15/2023.
