    NEH Fellowships, 2001-2002

    Deadline: May 1, 2000

    The National Endowment for the Humanities announces the competition for Fellowships for 2001-2002. These Fellowships provide opportunities for individuals to pursue advanced work in the humanities. Applicants may be faculty or staff members of colleges or universities or of primary or secondary schools. Scholars and writers working independently, in institutions such as museums, libraries, and historical associations, or in institutions with no connection to the humanities also are eligible to apply.

    NEH Fellowships support a variety of activities. Projects may contribute to scholarly knowledge, to the advancement of teaching, or to the general public understanding of the humanities. Award recipients might eventually produce scholarly articles, a book-length treatment of a broad topic, an archaeological site report, a translation, an edition, a database, or some other scholarly tool.

    CITIZENSHIP: Applicants should be U.S.citizens, native residents of U.S. jurisdictions, or foreign nationals who have been legal residents in the U.S. or its jurisdictions for at least three years immediately preceding the application deadline.

    ELIGIBILITY: The NEH Fellowships program has two categories: University Teachers and College Teachers/Independent Scholars. Applicants select a category depending on the institution where they are employed or on their status as Independent Scholars. Applicants whose positions change near the application deadline should select the category that corresponds to their employment status during the academic year before the deadline. Applicants whose professional training includes a degree program must have received the degree or completed all requirements for it by the application deadline. Persons seeking support for work leading to a degree are not eligible to apply, nor are active candidates for degrees. Further information is available in the printed guidelines and on the Endowment's web site: http://www.neh.gov

    TENURE AND STIPENDS: Tenure must cover an uninterrupted period of from six to twelve months. The earliest beginning date is January 1, 2001, and the latest is the start of the spring term of the 2001-2002 academic term, or April 1, 2002 for those who are not teachers. Tenure periods for teachers must include at least one complete term of the academic year. A stipend of $30,000 will be awarded to those holding fellowships for a grant period of nine months to twelve months. A stipend of $24,000 will be awarded to those holding fellowships for a grant period of six months to eight months.

    SUBMISSION OF APPLICATIONS: All applications must be postmarked on or before May 1, 2000. Please note that the Endowment does not accept applications submitted by fax or e-mail. Applicants will be notified of the decisions on their applications by mid-December 2000.

    NEW THIS YEAR: The 2001-2002 guidelines include two important Fellowships program changes: 1. Awardees are free to hold other major fellowships or grants concurrently with the NEH Fellowship. 2. Recent fellowship holders will receive the same consideration as other applicants during the evaluation process.

    Message 2: Intensional logic

    For the last fifteen years or so, I have been using to my own satisfaction a simple extension of a proof method of Quine in order to solve problems in intensional logic. Although it is so simple, I have never seen any mention of anything like it in the literature, though that may just be due to my ignorance or laziness.

    Therefore I am publishing it on the net in order to get some feedback, and spread it around to others who might be interested. If I have just reinvented the wheel, I will withdraw and make due acknowledgements. Any comments, constructive or destructive, will be most welcome.
