Science, technology, and medicine in their cultural contexts

The John J. Reilly Center at the University of Notre Dame offers graduate and undergraduate programs that focus on fostering scholarly conversation at the intersections between the humanities, social sciences, and medicine.

2025-2026 Storozynski Residential Writing Fellowship
Deadline: August 15th, 2025

Entry Fee: None

Fellowship Amount: $5,000

Email address: mrizzo2@nd.edu

The annual Storozynski Residential Writing Fellowship will be awarded to an emerging writer in Spring 2026. This $5,000 residential fellowship supports emerging writers who have published no more than one book. Writers with a significant publication record who have not yet published a book are also encouraged to apply.

The fellow will be expected to reside in South Bend, Indiana for approximately two weeks as a guest of the Reilly Center for Science, Technology, and Values at the University at Notre Dame, give a public lecture or reading, and appear as a guest lecturer in University courses that intersect with the fellow's work. Each fellowship includes private housing, a $5,000 stipend, living expenses, and access to university resources such as parking, the library, and the gym. 

The fellowship will be taken, ideally, in March 2026 but there is some flexibility. 

The fellowship is funded by the Reilly Center’s Health, Humanities, and Society program, and, as such, applicant's work should address themes of health, physical or mental illness, narrative medicine, the body, disability, or similar topics. While not a requirement, if the applicant's work discusses the intersection of AI and health in some way, we would be very interested to read it.

Applicants should email a CV/resume, a project proposal, and a writing sample of up to 15 pages to mrizzo2@nd.edu. There is no entry fee.
