Overview
The Gerald R. Ford Scholar Award in Honor of Robert M. Teeter is an annual award of $5000 given to a doctoral student to support dissertation research and writing on an aspect of the United States political process and public policy, broadly defined.
Area and Topics of Study
The Selection Committee will consider research in any field related to the study of the United States political process and public policy, broadly defined, during the last half of the 20th century. Of special interest is the role and analysis of public opinion in that process. Doctoral students in Political Science, History, Journalism, Communications, Public Policy, Foreign Relations, or American Studies are encouraged to apply.
Eligibility Requirements
Applicants must demonstrate their professional potential by submitting each of the following:
- an abstract describing the dissertation, no longer than 150 words;
- a 5 to 10 page proposal that describes the topic and outline of the dissertation. The proposal should provide both a description of the project and the ways in which Ford Library resources can advance the research on the topic. In addition, the proposal should indicate how the dissertation will relate to current scholarship on the subject. A bibliography of up to two additional pages should also be included. The proposal and accompanying bibliography should use 12-point font and be double-spaced (page count does not include footnotes or bibliography);
- three letters of recommendation from individuals who can attest to the applicant’s qualifications for the award (one of these letters must be from their academic director that includes a statement approving the dissertation topic);
- unofficial transcripts from all graduate schools attended (the Selection Committee reserves the right to request official transcripts); and
- a curriculum vitae.
Applicants must have completed all requirements for the Ph.D. program (coursework and examinations) by the application deadline, except for the dissertation. Please submit to: Gerald R. Ford Library, c/o Stacy Davis, 1000 Beal Avenue, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 48109.
Requirements of the Scholar/End-of-Award Reporting Responsibilities
The Gerald R. Ford Scholar will be required to conduct at least a portion of his or her research at the Gerald R. Ford Library, and, if appropriate, will be encouraged to make full use of the Robert M. Teeter Papers. The Scholar must agree to submit a brief report on the work done under the award to the Director of the Gerald R. Ford Library, 1000 Beal Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, U.S.A., no later than six months after receipt of the award and present a copy of the resulting dissertation to the Gerald R. Ford Library when it is completed and accepted. The scholar may be invited to participate in a public forum or seminar at the Ford Library in conjunction with the University of Michigan’s Ford School of Public Policy or other academic program. The Scholar also must acknowledge the support awarded in the resulting publication(s).
Award
The Gerald R. Ford Library will present the award of $5000 when the recipient arrives at the Library to conduct research. The recipient determines use of the award money, including, but not limited to, travel, paper and audiovisual reproductions and administrative costs, and other research and writing expenses.
Applications and Deadlines
Awards are made each spring. The application postmark deadline is May 1, 2010. Applications may be submitted at any time, but those received after the deadline will automatically be entered for the following year’s award. The award must support research to be conducted after the award is announced and will not be granted retroactively for research already completed.
