The Joan B. Kroc Institute invites applications for the Faculty Associate Fellowship, consisting of support for one semester and one summer, which may be awarded to one faculty member per year who has applied for and receives a leave. Only Kroc faculty fellows (excluding faculty whose appointment is in full or part through the Kroc Institute) are eligible for this award; assistant professors are eligible to apply starting the year of their third-year review and the fellowship award will be contingent on contract renewal by the University.  Likewise, fellowship awards made during the year of tenure evaluation are contingent on receiving tenure from the University.  Funding levels are set at half of the successful applicant’s annual salary to a maximum of $40,000; summer support is $4,000. Kroc faculty associates are eligible for a repeat fellowship seven years after the initial award.

Terms of the Award
Obligations for the Kroc faculty associate are a “work in progress” brown-bag lunch talk early in the leave semester, participation in most Kroc Institute events during the semester, and at least two of the following after the grant period: a lecture open to the Notre Dame community and the public; a syllabus for a future course that shows significant peace studies influence; a policy brief or occasional paper for publication in the Kroc series; dissemination of a published product resulting from the period of the award. The research support of the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies should be acknowledged in any publication that results from the term of the fellowship.

Application
Applicants submit a cover letter and a curriculum vitae; a research proposal of ten pages maximum detailing the project, plus a short bibliography; and a timetable for the semester and summer. Applications for finalists may be sent to a prominent scholar in the applicant’s field for external review.
Selection criteria include: quality of the research proposal; evidence of academic excellence; and relevance of the project for peace, human rights or reconciliation, broadly construed. Titles and summaries of successful proposals will be made available on the Kroc website.

In order to receive summer support, applicants must formally request summer funding in the application process, explain how it will support their research during the summer, and provide a justified budget.

The deadline for applications for the Faculty Associate Fellowship is November 1.

KROC/ISLA INTERDISCIPLINARY COURSE DEVELOPMENT

Each year the Kroc Institute and the Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts jointly support a limited number of faculty courses that integrate peace studies into classroom teaching. In recent years, this initiative has supported new courses covering the role of religion in peacebuilding, literature and peace studies, and the psychological dimensions of international conflict resolution. Proposals will be evaluated according to the same criteria as ISLA’s regular course development grants. These are materials grants of up to $3,500.
