    Eugene M. Lang Junior Faculty Research Fellowship

    The College expresses its appreciation to Mr. Eugene M. Lang for his many years of generous support for promising young scholars on the faculty.

    Deadline

    March 2, 2023. Please Note:  All Applications should be submitted electronically in a single PDF file.

    Eligibility

    All currently untenured full-time, tenure-track faculty members below the rank of Associate Professor with two or more consecutive years of full-time teaching service as of June 1, 2022, at Baruch are eligible for a Lang Fellowship. Eligible Baruch faculty members may submit one project for consideration for a Lang Fellowship per year.  Previous recipients of Lang Fellowships are eligible for another fellowship if at least one academic year has passed since the receipt of the previous fellowship and the work on the previous fellowship project has been published or formally accepted for publication, or its equivalent as described below.

    Eligible projects include scholarly research and other types of projects that represent significant contributions to the applicant’s discipline.  These projects must meet the standards of professional and academic achievement recognized by the tenure and promotion guidelines set forth by CUNY. In addition to scholarly research and publication, examples of eligible projects include professional-level (a) writing and publication of creative/journalistic works, (b) creation and performance/exhibition of works of the fine arts or music, (c) writing and production of works of theater, (d) creation and implementation of public initiatives that serve the social good and are specifically relevant to the applicant’s academic disciplines.

    Funding will be considered for project start-up costs, research or other project assistance, essential equipment, production expenses, travel, manuscript preparation costs, and submission or other relevant fees.

    Description of Awards

    Lang Fellowships award amounts will be between $3,500 and $8,000. It is anticipated that between five to seven Lang Fellowships will be awarded.  The award period will be from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023.

    How to Apply

    Proposals should be e-mailed to Melisa Mendez in the Office of Sponsored Programs and Research.

    The proposal should be formatted as specified below.

    Applicants should follow all submission requirements. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Applicants are encouraged to use the bold text below as “section headers” in their application to aid in the review process. Please use language that is accessible and intelligible to scholars from other disciplines.

    Each applicant is required to submit:

    Please note:  All applications should be submitted electronically in a single PDF file.

    1. 350 words or one page double-spaced abstract or executive summary of the project.

      • Project Timetable: Fellowship projects should be completed by the end of the academic year of the grant and the project timetable should reflect this goal.  A suggested format for this section of the proposal is to divide activities or tasks into Summer, Fall Semester, and Spring Semester.
    3. A Project Budget: The proposal must include an itemized budget covering all anticipated costs of carrying out the project and should include a brief justification of each item. Members of the Faculty can request reassigned time.  A fixed amount of $6,068 for three credits of course reassignment may be requested per application.  (Total  $6,068 = Salary $4,000 + Fringe Benefits $2,068) Please use the attached budget template.
    4. Listing of Other Funding Sources: Proposals must include a summary of all other proposals for external funding that the applicant has submitted and that are under review, including funding source, project title, and amount requested.

    6. As part of the application process, applicants must provide teaching evaluations for all courses taught for the past four semesters

    (Fall and Spring 2020 and Fall and Spring 2021).

    Please note:  If you are submitting the same project as your PSC application please make sure it is in the required format.

    Evaluation Criteria

    The following criteria are considered in evaluating proposals:

    • The quality of the proposed project in terms of its originality and clarity, the significance of its objectives, and prospects for achieving them.
