The program for external academic fellowships is designed to further the research and creative projects of Indiana University faculty members by facilitating the visits of scholars, scientists, and artists to any of IU's eight campuses.
Nominations come from faculty, either as individuals or as groups.
There are no forms or deadlines, so nominations may be submitted and are reviewed throughout the year. The review process takes about four weeks. Additional 3-4 letters from other faculty of the same campus, graduate students, and faculty from other campuses where appropriate, which describe the ways in which they will benefit from the visit. Curriculum vitae for the proposed fellow with publications relevant to the proposed visit marked with asterisks. Nominations are reviewed by the Governing Board, made up of faculty members from all Indiana University campuses.
