GRANTS- Kennan Institute Short-term Grants

KENNAN INSTITUTE SHORT-TERM GRANTS (up to one months' duration)

DEADLINE: June 1, 2001

The Kennan Institute offers Short-term Grants to scholars whose research in
the social sciences or humanities focuses on the former Soviet Union, and
who demonstrate a particular need to utilize the library, archival, and
other specialized resources of the Washington, D.C., area. Academic
participants must either possess a doctoral degree or be doctoral candidates
who have nearly completed their dissertations. For non-academics, an
equivalent degree of professional achievement is expected.

Short-term Grants provide a stipend of $100 per day. There is no official
application form for short-term grants. The applicant is requested to submit
a concise description (700-800 words) of his or her research project, a
curriculum vitae, a statement on preferred dates of residence in
Washington, D.C., and two letters of recommendation specifically in support
of the research to be conducted at the Institute. All of these materials may
be submitted via e-mail except for the letters of recommendation. The
letters should be sent with signatures either by fax or by post. Applicants
should also note their citizenship or permanent residency status in their
materials. Applications should be submitted in clear dark type, printed on
one side only, without staples.

Grant recipients are required to be in residence in Washington, D.C., for
the duration of their grant. Four rounds of competitive selection for
Short-term Grants are held each year. Closing dates are December 1, March 1,
June 1, and September 1.  Applicants are notified of the competition results
roughly six weeks after the closing date. U.S. citizens, permanent
residents, and non-Americans are eligible for Short-term Grants, although
funding for non-American applicants is limited. Approximately one in three
American applicants and one in six non-American applicants are awarded
Short-term Grants in each of the four competition rounds.

The Short-term Grant Program is supported by the Russian, Eurasian, and East
European Research and Training Program of the U.S. Department of State
(Title VIII) and the Kennan Institute endowment. Continuation of the
Short-term Grant Program in 2002-2003 is contingent on future funding.

Please send all application materials to: The Kennan Institute, One Woodrow
Wilson Plaza, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20004-3027.  For
