In our most recent "how can we help you?" thread, B asks:
Is there a list of resources for junior to mid-career faculty who are looking for (partly) funding a sabbatical/get additional training?
I have in mind something like the British Academy mid-career fellowship, or a Tempelton grant for tenured faculty to get additional training (discontinued a few years ago I believe).
Sometimes one is in the privileged position of being able to take a sabbatical, but coming from a country with low academic salaries it is difficult to organize longer research stays/pay for tuition elsewhere.
Good question. At my university, if one takes a full-year sabbatical, one only gets 50% of one's annual salary. A few years back, I was hoping to take a full year, but it just wasn't financially feasible. While I did see some fellowships at other universities on PhilJobs, I couldn't really apply for them due to my family situation. So, it would be great to hear about any other types of funding sources.
Do any readers have any helpful insights to share?
