Anti-Racism Research & Community Impact Faculty Fellowship

APPLICATION OPENS WINTER 2025

The 2023 Anti-Racism Research & Community Impact Faculty Fellowship supports early career faculty (defined as pre-tenure or, for those not in tenure track appointments, within 8 years of receiving their PhD) in projects that are difficult to fund through traditional funding sources for research and scholarship but are critical to supporting a scholar’s work in the academy as well as in dismantling systemic racism.

Informed by the input, feedback, and ongoing discussions with anti-racism scholars at U-M, the Fellowship will provide instrumental support to early career faculty to:

  • advance their anti-racism scholarship in ways that can lead to successful tenure/promotion, and
  • further leverage their expertise to fight systemic racism through policy advocacy, practice, teaching, and/or community partnerships.
