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 2001; grantees are able to commence their appointments as early as July 2001. 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 2001-2002 is contingent on future funding.
