About the Fellowship
The IDRF Program supports the next generation of scholars in the
humanities and social sciences pursuing research that advances knowledge
about non-U.S. cultures and societies. IDRF accepts applications for
research that is situated in a specific discipline and geographical
region and is informed by interdisciplinary and cross-regional
perspectives, as well as research on multiple countries and/or multiple
world regions. While proposals may cover all periods in history, they
must demonstrate relevance to contemporary issues and debates.
Eligibility
The program is open to graduate students in the humanities and social
sciences - regardless of citizenship - enrolled in doctoral programs in
the United States. Applicants must complete all Ph.D. requirements
except on-site research by the time the fellowship begins. Proposals
that identify the U.S. as a case for comparative inquiry are welcome;
however, proposals which focus predominantly or exclusively on the
United States are not eligible.
Fellowship Terms
The IDRF program provides support for nine to twelve months of
continuous dissertation research outside of the United States.
Seventy-five fellowships are awarded annually. Fellowship amounts vary
depending on the research plan, with a per-fellowship average of
$18,750. The fellowship includes participation in an interdisciplinary
workshop upon the completion of IDRF-funded research.
