No publisher LMB 2008-05-05T15:55:45Z announcement http://www.mellon.org/news_publications/announcements-1/distinguished-achievement-award-recipients-named The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has named the first five recipients of its new Distinguished Achievement Awards for scholars in the humanities. The Distinguished Achievement Awards have two objectives: to enable notable scholars in the humanities to pursue their work under especially favorable conditions and to underscore the decisive contributions the humanities make to the nation’s intellectual life. The awards are intended for those who have made major contributions to their own disciplines, whose influence may well have extended more broadly to other fields, and whose current work promises to make significant new advances through both teaching and research. Amounting to as much as $1.5 million each, the awards will provide the recipients and their institutions with enlarged opportunities to deepen and extend humanistic research. As such, they should benefit not only the individual scholar, but also their institutions and scholarship more broadly. No publisher LMB 2008-05-05T15:59:38Z announcement
