Two CU Boulder faculty members will share their success stories—and their processes—for applying for—and being awarded—the NEH Fellowship:
- Dimitri Nakassis | Department of Classics (2023)
- Colette Perold | College of Media, Communication and ... (2024)
This virtual program is designed to inspire faculty who are interested in applying for a fellowship. We celebrate these successful faculty and learn from their experiences applying for fellowships. What strategies did they use? Did they apply to more than one opportunity? How did they reuse, repurpose, and recycle proposals? Join us and learn their paths to successful winning proposals.
This event is RIO’s launch of RIO NEH Fellowships Peer Editing Program. From January through early April, participants will draft proposals and participate in one peer editing workshop (2-5 faculty max per group) to hone the narrative portion of their NEH Fellowship applications before the NEH April 9, 2025 deadline.
