Many of the barriers that constrained such exchanges prior to the dramatic upheavals of 1989 have since fallen. This has created an unprecedented set of historical opportunities, nonetheless marked by enduring cultural, economic, and political obstinacies. The breakdown of infrastructures in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe has made the stabilization and guarantee of scholarly access more, rather than less, complicated in the short term. To carry out its mission in this challenging new environment, IREX is able to call upon many distinctive strengths resulting from its almost twenty-five years of experience in these regions. IREX continues to foster its well- established scholarly and research programs through individual as well as collaborative projects. IREX will work with the American scholarly community to ensure that long-standing programs are adapted to a rapidly changing research environment. An open exchange of ideas benefits American scholars in their quest for knowledge, and assists colleagues in Eastern Europe and the states of the former Soviet region in their efforts to join fully the international community. Such exchanges also enable IREX to consider the best means by which scholarly communities both in the United States and in the region can bring the results of basic research to bear on policy options dealing with the transition in all of its dimensions. For a quarter century, IREX has been promoting scholarly interaction at the highest level between the United States, and Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and their successor states. Through its innovative efforts to broaden research access for intellectual communities, IREX has helped build an extraordinarily valuable body of scholarship and analysis across the full spectrum of research disciplines. Having helped to train generations of scholars and policy analysts from the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, IREX now finds that many of these same specialists have come into positions of authority and policy influence within the academic, political, economic and social policy elites of their respective countries. Working with both public and private funders, IREX has maintained a bold series of programs which have had significant results. IREX programs have: 1) made possible long and short-term research opportunities for American scholars at various stages of their careers; 2) developed direct relationships with scholars of the former communist states; 3) created opportunities for scholarly cooperation; 4) supported specialized language training programs; 5) improved access to research materials; 6) disseminated the practical results of its research programs to and for its public constituencies in academia and government, resulting in the publication of over 4200 books, dissertations and articles, and research and training support for an even greater number of scholars. These comprehensive programs are a source of considerable pride within the academic community, IREX, and its sponsors. IREX has delivered a broad range of services to thousands of scholars and students from the United States and an array of partner countries. These services are highly valued by hundreds of universities and over fifty national scholarly associations with whom IREX has ties, and are also strongly supported by the American Council of Learned Societies and the Social Science Research Council. These existing programs clearly form the strong core of IREX activities upon which new initiatives can be built. =================================================== GENERAL INFORMATION General Eligibility Requirements Also consult individual program requirements. 1. US citizenship or permanent residency is required for all programs. 2. Normally, command of the host-country language sufficient for advanced research is required of all research applicants. 3. Normally, applicants are required to have a full-time affiliation with a college or university and to be faculty members or doctoral candidates who will have completed all requirements for the PhD except the dissertation by the time of participation. Independent scholars or recipients of professional degrees (MLS, MFA, etc.) may alsoJ qualify. Inquiries about eligibility are welcome. 4. No funds will be disbursed until final reports have been received for previous IREX grants. Geographic Regions For administrative purposes, IREX divides its participating countries into three geographic regions: Central and Eastern Europe: Albania, Bosnia Hercegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

The purpose of this policy is to assure the most efficient use of existing funds for overseas study and research. IREX awards are made independently of these Department of Education awards. Benefits received under each program will be coordinated, should an applicant receive both grants. DOE Application Procedure: To apply, graduate students should obtain forms from the office of the graduate dean or the DOE representative at the school where they are enrolled for their doctoral degrees. Faculty-level applicants should obtain forms from their employing institutions. In both cases, applicants submit them directly to those institutions and not to the Department of Education. If forms are not available, the appropriate university official should request them from the Advanced Training and Research Branch, Center for International Education, US Department of Education, Washington, DC 20202-5331. See the December 19, 1983 Federal Register, pages 51, 682-88, for complete program information. (PhD candidates tel.: (202) 708-8763; Faculty researchers tel.:(202) 708-7279.) Deadlines: Application deadlines, usually in early August, are listed in the Federal Register.
