The Betsy James Wyeth Fellowship in Native American Art seeks to foster new scholarship on Native art of the United States that centers and elevates Indigenous methodologies, knowledge, and communities. This one-year fellowship is jointly hosted by SAAM and the National Museum of the American Indian and provides scholars with access to the resources of both museums. Applications will be evaluated on the originality and quality of the proposed research project; the applicant's academic standing, scholarly qualifications, and experience; the project's contribution to expanding broad perspectives of American art; and the extent to which the Smithsonian, through its research staff and resources, can contribute to the stated research goals. Applicants must submit a Research Proposal, which includes the full statement of the research the applicant plans to undertake at the Smithsonian and the methodology to be utilized. The proposal must also address the importance of the work, both in relation to the broader discipline and to the applicant's own scholarly goals; justification for conducting the research at the Smithsonian and utilization of research facilities and resources; permissions to utilize non-SI collections or facilities or Smithsonian collections and facilities not associated with the applicant's advisors, if applicable; and identification of the member of the Smithsonian's research staff who might serve as the applicant's principal advisor or host. Also identify potential co-advisors and/or consultants, if applicable. Applicants must also submit the names and email addresses of two persons familiar with their work. The proposed Smithsonian advisors or consultants must not be submitted as references. Applicants conducting research with Indigenous communities should provide information on the current state of consultation, appropriate contacts, and plans for sharing research findings with these communities. A tribal letter of approval or tribal community endorsement will strengthen a proposal and may be submitted as an additional reference letter.
