Applications for Guggenheim Fellowships - deadline is September 15, 2010

Dear Chairs and Directors,

I am writing on behalf of Dean Amon to ask that you encourage your outstanding researchers to apply for the upcoming Guggenheim Fellowships. Guggenheim Fellowships are grants to selected individuals made for a minimum of six months and a maximum of twelve months. Approximately 220 Fellowships are awarded each year, with an average amount of around $43,000. Fellows may spend their grant funds in any manner they deem necessary to their work.

Considered "midcareer" awards, Guggenheim Fellowships are intended for those who have already demonstrated exceptional capacity for productive scholarship in any field. Previous Faculty recipients include Professor Peter Zandstra and Professor David Zingg.

Applications for Guggenheim Fellowships are made online by the researcher. The deadline is September 15, 2010.

For more information on Guggenheim Fellowships please see http://www.gf.org/about-the-foundation/the-fellowship/ or contact me.

Please let me know if anyone in your department is planning to apply so that I can provide any necessary assistance.

Best regards,
Carolyn
