Description The 19 Washington Square North (WSN) Faculty Fellows program is pleased to announce the call for AY 2026-27 Fellowships, made possible by the generous support of the NYU Office of the Provost and the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute. The Fellows program aims to foster and strengthen connections between NYU faculty in Abu Dhabi and New York as well as to enhance academic activity at 19 Washington Square North, the home of NYUAD in New York. Accordingly, applications will be welcomed in Fall 2025 from teams that pair one full-time NYU faculty member in New York with one full-time member of the NYU Abu Dhabi standing faculty. Applicants are asked to propose a plan of joint research or artistic creation for AY 2026-27 that results in an original scholarly, creative, or artistic product or event presented at 19 WSN either during the fellowship period or the following summer. Examples might include a symposium, panel, exhibit, film, or performance; previous and current Fellows' proposals are shown here. Successful teams will be granted a USD 30,000 project budget as well as office space at 19 WSN. Office space at 19 WSN can be provided as needed, and the NY-based fellows will be expected to actively participate in the scholarly life of 19 WSN. In addition to organizing an event to be held at 19 WSN, Faculty Fellows will be expected to contribute to scholarly life there to the extent possible. New York-based Fellows, as well as Abu Dhabi-based Fellows when visiting New York, will be expected to work from their 19 WSN office whenever possible, attend events of interest (such as programs organized there by the NYU Abu Dhabi Institute), and participate in occasional gatherings to discuss their work in progress. Videoconference calls each semester will give all the Fellows the opportunity to discuss project developments and thus learn from, support, and brainstorm with their peers in diverse disciplines. Finally, Fellows will submit a brief narrative report of their fellowship activities at the end of the term. For more information, please visit 19 Washington Square North Faculty Fellowships. For questions, please contact 19wsn.fellows@nyu.edu.

Also, please indicate how the NY fellow intends to contribute to the activities of 19 Washington Square North during the academic year. Collaboration (250 words): Describe what strengths each member of the team bring to the collaboration and how they will complement each other’s strengths. Also describe if this is a new collaboration, and if not how long have the two members of the team been in collaboration. Potential Impact (250 words): Describe the potential impact of the project on their discipline(s), and the wider society. If the project is of particular relevance to the UAE or Gulf Region, please note this in this section. Long-term Plans (150 words): Describe any plans to continue the collaboration and sustain it after the end of the fellowship term. Output(s) (150 words): Describe what are the expected outputs of the project (journal articles, books, workshops, grants, etc.) Budget and Budget Justification: Please lay out the budget for your project.  Note that we cannot pay faculty summer salaries, but we can use the budget to pay for research assistants, travel, and supplies, as well as any reasonable items needed for the completion of the project. The public event planned for your project should be incorporated into this budget. The total budget cannot exceed $30,000 and will need to be spent by the end of the fiscal year of your fellowship. Ancillary forms: The individual completing the application will be requested to complete three brief forms. The first, the "Contact, Affiliation, and Project Information" form, provides 19 Washington Square North with basic information on both applicants to the Faculty Fellowship program. Please note it requires both the project title and a project abstract of no more than 250 words. The second, "Affiliation Information" form is required by the University. Whichever partner (i.e., AD- or NY-based) is completing it should generally answer the questions on the basis of their own information alone. However, when asked, "Is any member of your family or household an employee, trustee/director, or officer of NYU or any NYU affiliate, or are you in a relationship otherwise covered under the policy listed below?", details should be given in the space provided if the answer is affirmative for either the Abu Dhabi- or New York-based partner. The third, "EEO-1 / Affirmative Action Voluntary Self Identification Form" should be completed with information pertinent to whichever applicant is filling it out. Review Process and Selection Criteria Applications will be assessed by an internal review committee that includes NYU faculty from Abu Dhabi and New York. Key criteria for the evaluation of proposals will include: Anticipated project contributions Clarity, comprehensiveness, and feasibility of the planned research, creative, or artistic endeavor Synergy between collaborators in terms of their scholarly expertise and/or agenda The potential of the proposed presentation, activity, or event to stimulate active interest, partnerships, and/or intellectual community at 19 WSN.
