Sabbatical Grant for Pastors (Louisville Institute)

Posted on January 24, 2017 by gtuscholarships

The Louisville Institute Deadline: November 1 The Louisville Institute offers grants to support both pastoral sabbaticals and research by scholar/pastors and scholar/educators that strengthen the religious life of North American Christians and their institutions while simultaneously advancing American religious and theological scholarship. These grant programs aim to serve three strategic constituencies whose competence and well being are essential to the future of the church: pastors, younger scholars, and researchers and scholars for the broader church. In doing so, they also seek to advance our understanding of three issues of importance to both church and academy: Christian faith and life, pastoral leadership, and religious institutions.

Keep in mind that you may only apply to one program during a given grant year. For more detailed descriptions and applications procedures follow the links below. Grant Programs for Pastors Sabbatical Grants for Pastoral Leaders Program provides pastoral leaders with sustained periods of time for rest, renewal, and reflective engagement with their life and work and issues related to contemporary religious leadership. Research periods supported by this grant may range from nine months to one year. The grant amount requested should not exceed $40,000. Normally, the Louisville Institute will pay the grant directly to the institutions of those selected. The Louisville Institute allows up to 10 percent indirect costs based on the total direct costs of the project. Awards will be announced on or before February 1, 2015.

First Book Grant Program for Minority Scholars (Louisville Institute)

Posted on January 24, 2017 by gtuscholarships

Deadline: January 15

The Louisville Institute First Book Grant Program for Minority Scholars seeks to assist junior, non-tenured religion scholars of color to complete a major research and book project, focusing on some issue pertaining to American Christianity related to the priorities of the Louisville Institute. All too often such scholars are asked to assume a heavy set of institutional responsibilities that can make it more difficult to complete the scholarly work necessary to secure tenure. As a response, this grant program seeks to enable scholars to spend an entire academic year devoted to that research project while free of other professional responsibilities.

Amount: $40,000

Eligibility:

Applicants must:

  • be members of a racial/ethnic minority group,
  • have an earned doctoral degree (normally the Ph.D. or Th.D.),
  • be a pre-tenured faculty member in a full-time, tenure-track position at an accredited institution of higher education (seminary, college, or university) in North America,
  • be able to negotiate a full academic year free from teaching and committee responsibilities, and
  • be engaged in a scholarly research project leading to the publication of their first (or second) book, focusing on some aspect of Christianity in North America.

(For purposes of this grant program, the term “racial/ethnic minority group” includes African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, and Pacific Islanders.)
