The Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) and the Smithsonian
Institution (SI) invite fellowship applications for one-year
fellowships to support research in residence at Smithsonian
Institution facilities. Fellowships carry a twelve month stipend of
$30,000. All fields of study that are actively pursued by the museums
and research organizations of the Smithsonian Institution are
eligible.
How it Works
Under this fellowship program, the Smithsonian Institution and the
Fellow’s university share the cost of support. Students enrolled at
CIC member universities apply through their university graduate
school, however their application will be submitted through the
Smithsonian’s Online Application System (SOLAA). Each university will
then nominate one application for the CIC/SI competition from all completed
and submitted applications from their university.
All unfunded applications will be eligible for consideration in the
general Smithsonian Institution competition. Review of applications
for the general competition begins on January 15, 2014.
Eligibility
Students must have completed all course work for their programs, and
must have been admitted into doctoral candidacy and satisfied all
requirements except completion of the dissertation in order to
qualify. Only students enrolled at CIC institutions are eligible to
apply.
Benefits
The stipend is $30,000 for one year, and fellows are eligible for
tuition and health insurance benefits in accordance with their
university policy. Fellows are eligible to receive allowances for
related expenses and for temporary relocation to the Smithsonian.
Application Instructions
The application materials must be submitted electronically by November
1, 2013 at 5 PM EST through https://solaa.si.edu.
