The NeMLA Book Prize is an annual award bestowed upon the best unpublished manuscript of book-length by a member of the Northeast Modern Language Association.
To support the research of primarily untenured junior faculty, graduate students and independent scholars, the NeMLA Summer Fellowship Program awards summer travel grants ranging from $500 to $1,500.
To recognize quality research among their constituents, the individual Caucuses sponsor paper competitions following each convention to presenters. In addition to an honorarium, cash prizes may be awarded.
To better serve our members working in languages other than English, NeMLA has just established a partnership with the Newberry Library. This short-term fellowship for Ph.D. candidates or post-doctoral scholars offers up to one month's support ($1,200) for work in residence at the Newberry. NeMLA membership must be current at the time of application and through the period of the fellowship. Preference will be given to projects focusing on materials written in French, German, Italian, or Spanish.
Application Deadline: March 1, 2010. For more information, visit the Newberry Library site at: http://www.newberry.org/research/felshp/short-term.html.
