Howard (George A. and Eliza Gardner) Foundation--2000-2001 Fellowships

The intention of the Foundation is primarily to support people in the
middle stages of their careers whose work to date is evidence of their
promise and achievement. The designation mid-career refers to those who
are no longer beginners in their field, and those who have not yet
realized their full potential. It is intended for projects in the 
following fields: Anthropology, Philosophy and Sociology

Eligibility: Nominees should normally have the rank of assistant or
    associate professor or their non-academic equivalents. Support is
    intended to augment paid sabbatical leaves, making it financially
    possible for grantees to have a year in which to pursue their
    projects, free of any other professional responsibilities. Accepted
    nominees should normally be eligible for sabbaticals or other leave
    with guaranteed additional support.

    Candidates, regardless of their country of citizenship, must be
    professionally based in the United States either by affiliation with
    an institution or by residence. 

Stipend: Stipends for one year are normally $20,000. There are no
    residency requirements. 

Deadlines: October 19, 1999 (postmark date) - Closing date for nominations
    November 30, 1999 -- Deadline for completed applications with all
    supporting materials
    April 15, 2000 --Announcement of awards
    July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2001 -- Fellowship tenure

Application Process: Once the Nomination has been accepted by the
    Foundation, an application is forwarded to candidates within three
    weeks either by mail or, if possible, by e-mail.

    The application form asks for a three page description of the
    project, twenty pages of supporting material, and three letters of 
    recommendation.
