KENNAN INSTITUTE RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIPS
3-9 months duration
Research scholarships are available to academic
participants in the early stages of their career (before
tenure) or scholars whose careers have been interrupted or
delayed. For non-academics, an equivalent degree of
professional achievement is expected. Eligibility is
limited to the postdoctoral level for academic participants,
although doctoral candidates in the process of completing a
dissertation may apply (the dissertation must be
successfully defended before taking residence at the Kennan
Institute). AWARDS ARE LIMITED TO SCHOLARS WHO ARE U.S.
CITIZENS OR PERMANENT RESIDENTS UPON COMMENCEMENT OF THEIR
SCHOLARSHIP.
Research proposals examining topics in Eurasian studies are
eligible. Those proposals related to regional Russia, the
NIS, and contemporary issues are particularly welcome. The
Research Scholar grant offers a stipend of $3,000 per month,
research facilities, word processing support, and some
research assistance. Grant recipients are required to be in
residence at the Institute in Washington, D.C., for the
duration of their grant.
One round of competitive Research Scholar selection is held
per year. The deadline for receipt of applications is
October 1. Decisions on appointments will be made in late
January 2000; grantees are able to commence their
appointments as early as July 2000. In past years, the
Kennan Institute awarded Research Scholarships to one in
eight applicants.
The Research Scholarship Program is supported by the
Russian, Eurasian, and East European Research and Training
Program of the U.S. Department of State (Title VIII).
Continuation of the Research Scholarship Program in
2000-2001 is contingent on future funding.
