UA anticipates nominating one Junior Scholar and one Senior Scholar. UA anticipates a sponsor deadline of November 14, 2021. Updated guidelines will be posted once released by the sponsor.

In the previous cycle, there were four broad topic areas that include a wide range of suggested subtopics:

• Strengthening U.S. democracy and exploring new narratives
• Technological and cultural creativity—potential and perils
• Global connections and global ruptures
• Environments, natural and human

RDS anticipates similar topic areas for the 2022 program. Topic areas will be updated once announced by the sponsor.

How is a Junior Scholar defined for this opportunity?

The sponsor has previously defined a junior scholar as someone who received his/her Ph.D. within the last ten years. A junior scholar may hold any title, e.g., assistant professor or associate professor. The “junior” status is determined by the year in which his/her terminal degree was earned.

Senior: M. Nassar

Through a gift from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Library will support a multiyear initiative that entails public participation in the creation of archival collections. Specifically, the Library of Congress seeks to award grants to support contemporary cultural documentation focusing on the culture and traditions of diverse, often underrepresented communities in the United States. These projects will result in archival collections preserved at the American Folklife Center and made accessible through the Library of Congress’ web site. The major goals of this grant program are to enable communities to document their cultural life and experiences from their own perspectives, while enriching the Library’s holdings with diverse materials featuring creativity and knowledge found at the local level. As such, successful applications will come from individuals closely affiliated with the community they propose to document.
