Humanities and Arts Funding
National Fellowships provide substantial sabbatical time to write a book or other long-form research project. Fellowships do not require residency and generally qualify for the Rutgers Faculty Competitive Fellowship Leave (CFL) Program. Some fellowships correspond to a specific field or method of study (i.e., Asia, the Digital Humanities, Public Humanities).
