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. For more
information, please contact Jennifer Giglio via e-mail at

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.
