GRANT OPPORTUNITY- Kennan Institute Short-term Grants
KENNAN INSTITUTE SHORT-TERM GRANTS (up to one months' duration)
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. 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 2000-2001 is contingent
on future funding.
Please send all application materials to:
The Kennan Institute
One Woodrow Wilson Plaza
1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20004-3027
