14 months of stipend support (2-3 fellowships) per year for three years and a contribution to defray costs associated with the selection of fellows.

The W.F. Albright Institute is applying for the equivalent of 14 months of stipend at $5000/month, for a total of $70,000 per year, for the three-year cycle: 2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26, plus related selection costs at $5,000 per year. Funds would be used annually to support up to three fellows, in continuous residence at the Albright Institute in Jerusalem, for 4 to 6 months each. Fellows pursue a proposed research project, give public workshops to the academic community while in residence and participate in the activities of the Institute's scholarly community. Fellows' research projects culminate in a scholarly publication(s). The impact of this research, transmitted through the Albright's hundreds of alumni to institutions all over the world, has had a profound effect on the understanding of the humanities, western civilization, and its origins in the Near East. The Albright supports scholarly work in Near Eastern studies from prehistory through the Early Modern period.
