The Foundation for Development and Support of the Valdai Discussion Club is
launching a research grant program for Russian and foreign scholars and
experts in economics, political science and international relations.

Ten grants of up to 600,000 rubles ($20,000) will be awarded to research
groups comprising at least one Russian and one foreign expert.
The program aims to comprehensively study problems on the Russian and
international agenda and elaborate measures to develop an optimal strategy
for Russia. Research topics should be closely connected to the club's main
activities and embrace a wide range of issues from foreign policy and
economy to national and global governance.
"These grants will promote original research by Russian and international
experts and give them the opportunity, working together, to apply their
knowledge to public issues directly relevant to the emerging needs of
present-day Russia," Tim Colton, Professor and Chairman of Harvard
University's Government Department and a Member of the Valdai Club Advisory
Board, said.
Applicants must hold at least a PhD degree (or equivalent), have
peer-reviewed publications, chapters in books or monographs written on the
grant topics. A higher degree and publications in both Russian and foreign
journals is an advantage.
Young researchers up to 35 years old can participate in a special grant
contest, as well as the main grant program.
Grants are awarded by the Foundation Board on the basis of Valdai Club
Advisory Board's application review.
