BETWEEN 1992 AND 2003, adjunct, part-time, full-time temporary and visiting faculty won between 3-7 Guggenheim awards each year, or about 1.5 to 3.7 percent of the total number of awards granted (180-185). This year, out of the 185 awards given to individuals throughout the United and Canada, contingent faculty captured 6.4 percent of the grants or 12 out of the total number awarded by the foundation. The past decade has seen a steady increase in the number of contingent faculty Guggenheim winners.

Officials from the foundation have noted a steady increase in the number of applications submitted by adjunct, part-time, visiting and full-time temporary faculty. Temporary faculty may compete in any of the research and artistic creation competitions sponsored by the Guggenheim foundation.

For the United States and Canadian competition, completed applications must be submitted by the candidates themselves no later than October 1, 2004. Final selection of United States and Canadian Fellows for 2005 will be made in April 2005.
