Graduate Sabbatical Grants provide funding to PhD candidates (ABD) and postdoctoral fellows to buy out teaching or research responsibilities for a semester so that they can complete vital work toward the completion of their degrees, publications, or other milestones in their early academic careers. Summer fellowships for graduate students are available. Applicants must be enrolled as PhD students who have advanced to candidacy, or currently hold a postdoctoral fellowship. Previous applicants and winners are welcome to apply. Prior participation in IHS programs is not required. The fellowship is open to students at any university, and international students are eligible; however, priority is given to applicants at top research institutions. Preference will be given to research directly tied to IHS areas of focus. Awardees are expected to complete a significant milestone in their early academic career, examples include finishing large portions of a dissertation, completing and submitting material for publication, or producing work and presenting at a major conference. Awardees will be asked to provide updates on significant milestones during the course of the sabbatical and to inform IHS about other relevant research progress. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Applicants will be notified of their award decision within eight weeks of submission. Please visit the award's website for more information.
