Guggenheim Fellowships for research
Five faculty members have been awarded fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year.
They are among 186 artists, scholars and scientists selected from over 3,000 applicants for awards totaling $7,112,000. Guggenheim Fellowships support the research -- under the freest possible conditions -- of advanced professionals in any field of knowledge and creation in any of the arts. Appointments as Guggenheim Fellows are ordinarily made for one year, and the amounts of the grants are adjusted to the needs of the fellows, considering the purpose, resources and scope of their plans.
The five Guggenheim Fellows from Yale and their research topics are:
Gerhard Böwering, professor of religious studies -- the formative influence of al-Sulami's commentary on the Qur'an.
Stephen Morris, the Irving Fisher Professor of Economics -- global games.
Lynn Nottage, visiting professor in play writing -- play writing.
Lynne Regan, professor of molecular biophysics and biochemistry and of chemistry -- studies of novel anti-cancer reagents.
John C. Tully, the Arthur T. Kemp Professor of Chemistry and professor of physics and applied physics -- chemical dynamics of metal surfaces.
Established in 1925 by U.S. Senator Simon Guggenheim and his wife as a memorial to their son, the Guggenheim Fellowship program gives awards to individuals from a wide range of institutions and of varied ages and interests, from the natural sciences to the creative arts. The prestigious awards are particularly competitive in this period of decreased funding for individuals in the arts, humanities and sciences. The full list of 2005 Guggenheim Fellows can be found at www.gf.org.
