Director's Awards
The MacMillan Center Director’s Award was established in 2005. The Awards are for non-tenured ladder Yale faculty who receive certain distinguished individual grants, prizes, or fellowships from external foundations and granting agencies for research on international subjects. International collaborations alone are not sufficient. In addition to recognizing these junior faculty members’ accomplishments, the Director’s Awards are intended to enable them to enhance their future research. Recipients are appointed Research Fellows at the MacMillan Center and receive research funds of $5,000 per year for two years. Junior faculty members who have received one of the following awards are eligible:
Carnegie Scholar
Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship
Wenner-Gren Individual Research Grant
National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award
Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship
Bradley Foundation Fellowship
Smith Richardson Junior Faculty Fellowship
Russell Sage Foundation Fellowship
Institute for Advanced Study Fellowship
Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences Fellowship
John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship
National Humanities Center Fellowship
Other awards may be eligible.
Please notify Marilyn Wilkes, Communications Director, The MacMillan Center, if you think you are eligible to receive a Director’s Award.
