The sponsor must be an SIS member at the time of the application. The support will be given as a gift to the institution accepting responsibility for the research environment of the awardees. These fellowships must be expended solely for the purpose of the sponsored research.

year of an existing fellowship.
For All Fellowship Award Applicants Letters of support from the endorsers, research sponsor, and department Chairperson must be included with the application. These letters should describe the facilities available for the applicant, sources of salary support, and a guarantee of protected time. The letters should summarize the significance of this project and the applicant’s qualifications. The letter from the departmental Chairperson must indicate that no Fellowship funds will be used for overhead and that all monies provided are specifically for the Awardee’s salary and direct research costs. Absence of this letter will exclude consideration of the application. SIS Fellowship application forms are available online.
