Eligibility
Collaborative Inquiry Teams are comprised of both academic and pastoral leaders (an equal number of each) based in the United States or Canada. Applicants must have earned the terminal degree in their chosen vocation. For academy-based professionals, this degree is usually the Ph.D., Th.D., or the pontifical S.T.D. For many pastoral leaders, it is the Master of Divinity degree, depending on the ecclesiastical tradition. The term "pastoral leaders" includes Christian clergy, church staff members, chaplains, denominational staff, nuns/sisters/brothers, members of monastic communities, and others regularly employed in recognized positions of pastoral leadership, ordained and lay. Also eligible are ordained ministers not currently employed by a religious organization. Previous LI grantees are eligible and encouraged to apply; however, all program and financial reports for any previous grants/fellowships must be submitted prior to April 1. Applicants may only apply to one Louisville Institute grant program within the same grant year (June 1 - May 31).
Description
Louisville Institute's Collaborative Inquiry Team (CIT) program typically supports teams of four to eight pastors and professors who propose projects to strengthen the life of North American Christian congregations. Teams must have a balance of pastoral and academic researchers who will spend some time exploring together a living question currently confronting church and society.In offering CIT grants, Louisville Institute encourages the formation of interdisciplinary learning cohorts, teams committed to creating "a third space" that bridges church and academy. Entering this third space, participants sharpen one another's guiding questions, research methodologies, and bibliography. Just as pastors grow in their capacity to view their situation through academic disciplinary eyes, academics gain perspective by viewing questions through pastoral eyes.Proposed projects may employ a variety of methodological perspectives, including, but not limited to, historical, systematic and practical theology, the social and natural sciences, history, ethics, or biblical studies. Preference will be given to innovative, interdisciplinary research strategies that investigate adaptive challenges faced by North American congregations and faith communities.
