GRANTS- Kennan Institute Short-term Grants

KENNAN INSTITUTE SHORT-TERM GRANTS (up to one month's duration)

DEADLINE: June 1, 2001

The Kennan Institute offers Short-term Grants to scholars whose research
in the social sciences or humanities focuses on the former Soviet Union,
and who demonstrate a particular need to utilize the library, archival,
and other specialized resources of the Washington, D.C., area. Academic
participants must either possess a doctoral degree or be doctoral
candidates who have nearly completed their dissertations. For
non-academics, an equivalent degree of professional achievement is
expected.

Short-term Grants provide a stipend of $100 per day. There is no official
application form for short-term grants. The applicant is requested to
submit a concise description (700-800 words) of his or her research
project, a curriculum vitae, a statement on preferred dates of residence
in Washington, D.C., and two letters of recommendation specifically in
support of the research to be conducted at the Institute. All of these
materials may be submitted via e-mail except for the letters of
recommendation. The letters should be sent with signatures either by fax
or by post. Applicants should also note their citizenship or permanent
residency status in their materials. Applications should be submitted in
clear dark type, printed on one side only, without staples.

Grant recipients are required to be in residence in Washington, D.C., for
the duration of their grant. Four rounds of competitive selection for
Short-term Grants are held each year. Closing dates are December 1, March
1, June 1, and September 1.  Applicants are notified of the competition
results roughly six weeks after the closing date. U.S. citizens, permanent
residents, and non-Americans are eligible for Short-term Grants, although
funding for non-American applicants is limited. Approximately one in three
American applicants and one in six non-American applicants are awarded
Short-term Grants in each of the four competition rounds.

The Short-term Grant Program is supported by the Russian, Eurasian, and
East European Research and Training Program of the U.S. Department of
State (Title VIII) and the Kennan Institute endowment. Continuation of the
Short-term Grant Program in 2002-2003 is contingent on future funding.
