Fellowship Announcement

The Social Science Research Council and the American Council of Learned 
Societies announce the 2007 competition of the INTERNATIONAL DISSERTATION 
RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP (IDRF) program designed to support distinguished 
graduate students in the humanities and social sciences conducting 
dissertation research outside the United States.  Fifty fellowships of 
approximately $20,000 will be awarded in 2007 with funds provided by the 
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The IDRF program is committed to scholarship that advances knowledge about 
non-U.S. cultures and societies grounded in empirical and site-specific 
research (involving fieldwork, research in archival or manuscript 
collections, or quantitative data collection).  The program promotes 
research that is at once located in a specific discipline and geographical 
region and is engaged with interdisciplinary and cross-regional 
perspectives.

Applicants must have completed all Ph.D. requirements except on-site 
dissertation research by the time the fellowship begins or by December 
2007, whichever comes first.  Fellowships will provide support for nine to 
twelve months of dissertation research.  The fellowship must be held for a 
single continuous period within the eighteen months between July 2007 and 
December 2008.

For more detailed information on application procedures and eligibility 
requirements, visit the IDRF website at www.ssrc.org/programs/idrf or 
contact program staff at idrf at ssrc.org.



Deadline: November 1, 2006.
