Carnegie Scholars Program
Since 1999, the Carnegie Scholars Program has been supporting individual scholars to conduct research that extends the boundaries of its grantmaking priorities. For the next few years, the Scholars Program will focus on supporting scholars whose research relates to intellectual and policy developments in Islam and Muslim communities. The overall aim is to build a critical mass of thoughtful and original scholarship in order to add to our fund of knowledge regarding Islam as a religion as well as the cultures and civilizations of Muslim societies and communities, both in the United States and abroad. Recognizing that in order for ideas to influence society they must be widely communicated to a variety of audiences, the fellowship emphasizes the communication of scholarly research beyond the academic community to policymakers and the public. The program annually awards up to 20 fellowships for a period of one to two years and for a maximum amount of $100,000. At the end of the fellowship period, Scholars will submit a written report along with books or manuscripts prepared as a result of the Corporation’s support.
