SSRC Fellowships for the
Study of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and Its Successor
States
The SSRC Eurasia Program has extended the deadline for the
2002-2003 Title VIII Dissertation Write-up fellowship for
research on the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and the New
Independent States. The new deadline is November 20, 2002.
Research related to the non-Russian states, regions, and peoples
is particularly encouraged; although all proposals related
to one or more regions of Eurasia will be accepted. Funding
for this program is provided by the US Department of State
under the Program for Research and Training on Eastern Europe
and the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union (Title
VIII). All fellowships awarded under this program are contingent
upon the receipt of funding from the US Department of State.
These awards of $15,000 for one academic year provide support
to graduate students near the completion of their doctoral
programs in the social sciences and related humanities. These
fellowships are intended for applicants who have completed
all formal components of their dissertation field research
or data collection, and who have made significant progress
in outlining emergent, innovative contributions to scholarship.
Regions and countries currently supported by the program
include Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan,
Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. Funding is presently not available
for research on the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania).
Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents.
Award decisions will be announced by June 2003. First payment
installments are usually released in September or October
(contingent upon the receipt of funding from the US Department
of State).
