The Call for Proposals for the 2026-2027 Elkins SoTL Fellows Program is now open!
Up to 10 Elkins SoTL Fellowships of $1,000 each will be awarded for 2026-2027 (May 22, 2026-June 30, 2026). The Elkins SoTL Fellowships are open to USM faculty of any rank or appointment interested in undertaking a research project focused on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. A faculty member should serve as principal investigator (PI) on the project; a staff person may serve as co-PI provided the project originates with the faculty member. At present, we are not considering graduate students for this fellowship but may do so in future cycles.
Join Kirwan Center staff on Monday, April 13, 2026, from 1:00 to 2:00 pm ET for a virtual Information Session to learn more about the Fellowship requirements and expectations. We will also answer questions about the program at that time. Register for the Information Session. Registering will ensure you receive a link to the session recording, even if you can’t attend live.
Proposals are due by 11:59 pm on Friday, May 8, 2026, for work to take place over the subsequent academic year. More details can be found in the Call for Proposals.
