Limited Submission: Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program

The Office of Research and Innovation (ORI) and the Office of Foundation Relations (FRR) are announcing the launch of an internal competition for the Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program. 

• Internal Submission Deadline: Tuesday, September 8, 2026
• Sponsor Application Deadline: Friday, November 13, 2026

Program Description:

The foundation anticipates that the work of the Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program will explore the many ways political polarization in the United States and abroad manifests itself in society and suggest ways that it may be mitigated. Studies of polarization in other countries should offer lessons that can be applied to the United States, such as:

• What has been the relationship between populism and polarization in other countries?
• How have some countries managed to avoid polarization?
• What can we learn from countries that have undergone periods of polarization, such as South Africa, Colombia, and Northern Ireland?
• Under what conditions has polarization escalated into political violence?
• Under what conditions has polarization taken root/accelerated/declined in other countries?

Projects based in disciplines across the humanities and social sciences are welcomed.

Funding Organization's Deadline: September 17, 2026, 5:00 PM ET

Maximum award: $200,000

Award term: 2 years

Eligibility: The fellowship is open only to citizenz or legal permanent residents of the U.S. Candidates must have a PhD, hold a terminal degree, or be a high-level professional working outside of academia.

UC San Diego Limited Submission Programs

Limited-submission funding opportunities are those for which the sponsor limits the number of proposals UC San Diego may submit. Opportunities are posted through an internal application portal (InfoReady Review) and distributed via the two opt-in mail list.

When the number of internal applications for a given funding opportunity exceeds the allowable number of external submissions, internal review is conducted by one or more of four standing faculty committees, members of which are appointed by the Academic Senate. Recommendations on the most competitive applications are provided to the Vice Chancellor for Research. All applicants are notified of the outcome and provided reviewer comments, if any, on their applications.
