Postdoctoral Fellowships in East European Studies
Amount: up to $25,000
Tenure: 6 to 12 consecutive months between
July 1, 2002 and September 1, 2003.
Deadline: November 1, 2001 for submitting completed application.
Decisions will be announced in late April 2002.
The American Council of Learned Societies will offer support for
postdoctoral research and write-up in East European studies. Applications
should be for research in East European studies, that is, for work related
to Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia,
Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, or the successor states of the former
Yugoslavia, in any discipline(s) of the humanities and the social sciences.
Proposals dealing with Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, and the successor states
of the former Yugoslavia are particularly encouraged. The Program supports
comparative work considering more than one country of East Europe or
relating East European societies to those of other parts of the world. These
fellowships are made possible with funding from the Department of State
under the Research and Training for Eastern Europe and the Independent
States of the Former Soviet Union Act of 1983 (Title VIII), and other
sources.
In awarding these grants, primary considerations are the scholarly merit of
the proposal, its importance to the development of East European Studies,
and the scholarly potential, accomplishments, and financial need of the
applicant. All proposals should be for scholarly work, the product of which
is to be disseminated in English. These fellowships are to be used for work
outside East Europe, although short visits to the area may be proposed as
part of a coherent program primarily based elsewhere.

Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States, and
hold a Ph.D. degree conferred prior to November 1, 2001, or its equivalent
as demonstrated by professional experience and publications.

Approximately 5-7 fellowships will be available. They are intended primarily
 as salary replacement to provide time free for research; the funds may be
used to supplement sabbatical salaries or awards from other sources,
provided they would intensify or extend the contemplated research. Scholars
may apply, therefore, for fellowships of up to $25,000 for six to twelve
consecutive months of full-time research between July 1, 2002 and September
1, 2003.

Dissertation Fellowships in East European Studies
Amount: up to $15,000
Tenure: One year beginning June 2002.
Deadline: November 1, 2001 for submitting completed applications.
Decisions will be announced in late April 2002.
The American Council of Learned Societies will offer support for
dissertation research and write-up in East European studies. Applications,
therefore, should be for doctoral dissertations related to Albania,
Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland,
Romania, Slovakia, or the successor states of the former Yugoslavia in any
discipline or disciplines of the humanities and the social sciences.
Comparative projects are also welcomed. These fellowships are made possible
with funding from the Department of State under the Research and Training
for Eastern Europe and the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union Act
of 1983 (Title VIII) and other sources.
Fellowships will be granted on the basis of the scholarly potential of the
applicant, the quality and scholarly importance of the proposed work, and
its importance to the development of scholarship on East Europe. These
fellowships, however, are to be used for work outside East Europe, although
short visits to the area may be proposed as part of a coherent program
primarily based elsewhere.

Currently enrolled graduate students who will have completed all
requirements for the doctorate except the dissertation by June 2002 may
apply for one year, non-renewable support for work on the dissertation. The
stipend will be up to $15,000, and approximately 10-12 fellowships will be
available. Applicants must be citizens or permanent legal residents of the
United States.

As a condition of the award, the applicant's home university will be
required (consistent with its policies and regulations) to provide or to
waive normal academic year tuition payments or to provide alternative
cost-sharing support.
