Goddard Junior Faculty Felowships
Funded by a bequest from Paulette Goddard, the Goddard Junior Faculty Fellowships give tenure-track faculty who have passed their third-year review a one semester leave with full pay in their fourth year.  The timing of the leave (fall or spring term) is determined in consultation with the department chair.

The leave is intended to give junior faculty a concentrated period of time to conduct research and scholarship which will lead toward meeting the criteria for promotion and tenure at NYU. At the conclusion of the leave, each Goddard fellow is required to submit a brief report of their activities to their dean. Faculty with questions regarding eligibility and timing of the Goddard Fellowship should contact their school deans.

Humanities Initiative Research Fellowships
The Humanities Initiative Research Fellowships are available to faculty members and graduate students in the humanities and art disciplines.

University Research Challenge Fund
The University Research Challenge Fund supports faculty-initiated research and particulaly aims to assist investigators to explore new areas of research that can attract outside support and scholarship in areas where there is limited outside support.

Vladeck Fellowships

The Stephen Charney Vladeck Junior Faculty Fellowship is intended to assist selected junior faculty in launching or completing substantial research in social justice, health care, labor law, labor history and individual rights, with a major emphasis on urban problems. 

Each fellow receives a $15,000 award, which may be used as a research stipend or to arrange for a one-semester leave from teaching (which will not reflect on regular accumulated leave), depending on the school. Applicants must be full-time, tenure-track faculty members with the rank of assistant professor or above who have completed at least one year and no more than four years of full-time teaching (or its equivalent) at NYU.
