CBA Sabbatical Fellowship

The CBA Sabbatical Fellowship is available for individual Full Member scholars pursuing projects relevant to the purposes of the Catholic Biblical Association. One award of $40,000 is granted annually. This sabbatical fellowship is designed for individual researchers pursuing projects such as books, monographs, peer-reviewed articles, digital collections, and translations with annotations or a critical apparatus. The fellowship supports scholars who may be employed full time at a post-secondary academic institution, teaching on the secondary level, working in a parish or congregational context, or working as independent scholars. Awards may not be divided, and group projects are not eligible for funding. Applications are evaluated on the basis of merit, with preference normally given to applicants who have not received a grant from the CBA in the recent past. Recipients are expected to present their supported research in a Research Report or panel at the Annual General Meeting within two years of receiving the grant.
