Academic fellowships can provide time and resources to support creativity, exploration, and flexible research activity. Some fellowships focus on funding a scholar’s broader research trajectory rather than a discrete project. Join OVPR for a panel discussion featuring UT scholars who have received prestigious research fellowships in different disciplines and career stages, including Carnegie, Guggenheim, Packard, Sloan fellowships, and more.

We will discuss their varied experiences for positioning themselves for research fellowships and external recognition.
