The William Nelson Cromwell Foundation makes available a number of fellowships to support research and writing in American legal history by early-career scholars. Early-career generally includes those researching or writing a PhD dissertation (or equivalent project) and recent recipients of a graduate degree working on their first major monograph or research project. In order to apply, applicants must submit a PDF which includes (in this order): name, contact information; description of the proposed project (please include a working title); a budget; a timeline; a short CV; and the names and contact information of two academic referees from whom the applicant has requested letters of recommendation. Recommenders should separately submit the letters of recommendation. The application should make clear the relevance of law to the applicant's project. The most successful applicants demonstrate how law (broadly construed) is at the center of their projects, and how their research will tell us something new about law. The proposal should engage with relevant scholarship in the field. While this discussion can be brief, the most successful applicants explain how their projects tell us something new. The application should have a clear budget that is specific about how and where the applicant plans to spend research funds. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
