Studying Early Music with Computers: Tools, Formats, and Strategies is the American Musicological Society’s two-week residential summer institute taking place from 14-27 June 2026, made possible by the National Endowment for the Humanities. This institute will provide a unique opportunity for scholars and educators to learn more about the machine-assisted study of early music.

Over the course of two weeks, thirty participants and eleven faculty members will focus on the practical applications of digital technologies, primarily through practitioner workshops and seminars on specific tools, formats, and machine-assisted investigative strategies. Through both expert talks and interactive workshops, participants will be equipped with the knowledge needed to advance their own research and teaching, including detailed explorations of the technical, infrastructural, and funding requirements necessary for conceiving, developing, deploying, and maintaining digital humanities projects and programs for the study of early music (c. 1000–1750 CE).

Application is open to scholars from all fields, provided that they meet the eligibility requirements. Six participant slots will be reserved for untenured/non-tenure track faculty and three spaces will be reserved for graduate students who have advanced to Ph.D. candidacy. Stipends of $2,200 will be provided to participants to defray the cost of attendance, travel, and lodging.

Applications must be received no later than 11:59pm PT, 6 March 2026. Late applications will not be accepted and only complete applications will be considered. Notifications of decisions will be sent in early April.

Overview:

Publication subventions are granted to individuals and institutions for any topics within music studies. The endowment supporting general music studies publications was established through the generous bequests of Manfred Bukofzer, Lloyd Hibberd, Otto Kinkeldey, Dragan Plamenac, and Gustave Reese. Publication subventions were later supported by additional funding through the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, and the generous contributions of many individual donors.

Now, the American Musicological Society grants approximately $80,000 each year to help with expenses involved in the publication of works of musical scholarship, including books, essay collections, articles, chapters in essay collections, special issues of journals, and works in non-print media.

This application is for individual applicants. Publishers and other institutions should consult the application for institutions. For additional information about the AMS subvention program, please visit the AMS website.

Eligibility:

Individual subventions are awarded only for work written by members of the AMS. Applications for any amount up to $2500 will receive consideration. No individual can receive a subvention more than once in a three-year period. Applications that are not complete will not be considered.

Individual authors or editors may apply for assistance to defray costs associated with the preparation of works on music studies that are slated for publication. Examples include costs related to illustrations, musical examples, facsimiles, accompanying audio or video examples, permissions, indexing, translations, and copy-editing.

Proposals from scholars at all stages of their careers are welcome. Projects that make use of newer technologies are also encouraged.

In addition to the standard subvention funds, works by early career professionals may also be eligible for funding from the AMS 75 PAYS subvention fund, which provides support for the publication of first books by professionals in the early stages of their music research or teaching career. Click here for complete eligibility criteria and information on eligibility appeals regarding the AMS 75 PAYS subvention fund.

Application Procedures:

The following materials are required:

The AMS is offering funding of up to $3,500 to AMS affiliates for the purpose of organizing such events. All AMS chapters, study groups, and committees are eligible to apply.

OVERVIEW & ELIGIBILITY

The Howard Mayer Brown Fellowship was established by friends of the late Howard Mayer Brown on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. Intended to increase the presence in musicology of scholars and teachers from historically underrepresented backgrounds, the fellowship supports one year of graduate work for a student at a U.S. or Canadian university who is a member of a historically underrepresented group (such as a member of a tribal community, graduate of a HBCU, etc.). Preference will normally be given to candidates who are citizens or permanent residents of a North American* country. The award will not be made to those who already have full funding roughly equivalent to the amount of the Howard Mayer Brown Fellowship, regardless of whether it includes a teaching assignment, except on a non-stipendiary basis.

Students are eligible who have completed at least one year of full-time graduate work, intend to pursue a Ph.D., and are in good standing at their home institution. They should show evidence of academic excellence and promise of continuing achievement in music scholarship. Those in the earlier stages of the degree are particularly encouraged to apply. Students at a U.S. or Canadian university who are a member of a historically underrepresented group are encouraged to apply.

*includes all 23 countries in the North American continent

COMPETITION AND APPLICATION PROCEDURES

To apply for the Howard Mayer Brown Fellowship, the following materials are required:

2. A personal statement (not to exceed 1,000 words) summarizing the applicant’s musical and academic background and stating why they wish to pursue an advanced degree in music studies. Areas of research or specific topics that the applicant would pursue if supported by a Howard Mayer Brown Fellowship should be identified and discussed.
3. A curriculum vitae.
4. A sample or samples of the applicant’s work (not to exceed 30 pages total), such as term paper(s), thesis chapter(s), or any published material.
