The Harry Ransom Center at UT Austin gives out about 50 fellowships each year to post-doctorates and independent scholars for research projects "in all areas of the humanities." The funding includes a handsome $3,000 monthly stipend (up to 4 months), plus travel stipends. Applications are now being accepted; the deadline is February 2, 2009. HRC also notes that priority goes to proposals that incorporate the Center's collections, so you'd do well to take a stroll around their impressive collections before coming up with a research topic.
