The Humanities Research Fellowship for the Study of the Arab World program, in collaboration with the Archives and Special Collections of the NYUAD Library, is awarding a limited number of travel awards to scholars interested in research within the Arab Heritage and Gulf Crossroads collections.

These travel grants may be used for research for Ph.D. dissertations, MA and undergraduate theses, publications, and other projects. 

Grant awards include travel (airfare), accommodation funding, and a $100 per diem for days spent conducting research at the NYUAD Library. Applications must include an estimated cost of travel (airfare), the number of days required for research at the NYUAD Library, and the total number of days for research and travel for a maximum of two weeks.  Airfare should be based on the most economical fare available. The amount awarded cannot be increased after the recipient receives the notification of the grant, and grants are not awarded retroactively for research already completed.

Prior to submitting a grant proposal, applicants must contact the NYUAD Library’s Archives and Special Collections department (at email: nyuad-asc.group@nyu.edu), or consult the library’s Arab Heritage and Gulf Crossroads department’s website at https://nyuad.nyu.edu/en/library/collections/archives-and-special-collections/arab-heritage-and-gulf-crossroads.html, to ensure the availability of the documents and their relevance to the research project.  The Reading Room is open for research Monday through Friday by appointment and is closed on public holidays. Both in their application and outreach to Archives & Special Collections, applicants should state clearly and precisely how the book, map, and archival holdings of the NYUAD Library will contribute to the completion of the proposed project.  

Required materials are to be sent to nyuad.humanities.fellowships@nyu.edu

  • Resume: a maximum of 2 pages that include current and past positions, education and degrees, relevant awards and honors, up to 5 publications, other relevant professional activities and accomplishments, and level of competence in relevant foreign languages.

     

    Research proposal:  a maximum of 4 double-spaced pages that include (1) the title of the project; (2) a brief description of the project, including scope, objective of the research, methodology, and possible conclusions or results; and (3) relation of the NYUAD Library holdings to your research.

    List three references and their contact information.

 Spring Term:  March 1 - June 15, 2023. The application deadline is January 31, 2023.
