Subject: Deadlines Extended: ARISC Funding Opportunities

 
The American Research Institute of the South Caucasus (ARISC) announces
extended deadlines for two funding opportunities!

ARISC Research Fellowship

Deadline: Friday, January 17, 2020
ARISC announces the availability of fellowships in support of research and
mentoring activities in the South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, and/or
Georgia).  The goals of the fellowship are 1) to support research in and the
study of the South Caucasus; 2) to select, recognize and financially support
individuals who demonstrate high potential to contribute to research in this
region; 3) to support a mentoring relationship that will both develop the
academic skills of the mentee and strengthen ties between the US and host
country. Projects in all fields in the humanities, social sciences, and
natural sciences are eligible, and all projects must include one or more
undergraduate and/or graduate students from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and/or
Georgia as research assistants/participants. Priority will be given to
projects proposing research on entrepreneurship, science and technology, youth
leadership, or higher education. This opportunity is open to US citizens who
are scholars at the predoctoral (doctoral candidates), postdoctoral, or
advanced professorial levels. Research awards will be made for $2,500 to
$6,500, for a maximum of 3 months each to help cover transportation, room,
board, incidental expenses, and other expenses needed to support scholar’s
research in the South Caucasus. For ARISC grant purposes, mentoring is
understood to involve integrating a local scholar into a research project in a
fundamental way that involves cultivating skills and knowledge of methods that
will contribute to the professional development of the local scholar. The
fellows will give ARISC-sponsored presentations on a subject related to their
research. Proposals will be peer-reviewed and judged on their quality and on
the potential of the research to strengthen scholarship on the South Caucasus.
ARISC offers connections with colleagues, institutions, and authorities
through its representatives in Baku, Tbilisi, and Yerevan.

For the full call, eligibility requirements, and application materials, see
https://arisc.org/arisc-research-fellowship/

Funding for this fellowship is provided by the US Department of State's Bureau
of Educational and Cultural Affairs through a grant to the Council of American
Overseas Research Centers (CAORC).

ARISC Graduate/Postdoctoral Fellowship

Deadline: Friday, January 17, 2020
ARISC announces the availability of graduate/postdoctoral fellowships in
support of research in the South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, and/or
Georgia). Awards will be made for a maximum of $1500 each. Projects in all
fields in the social sciences, humanities, and related sciences are eligible.
Proposals will be judged on their quality and on the potential of the research
to strengthen scholarship on the South Caucasus. The purpose of the fellowship
is to help cover travel and/or living expenses in the South Caucasus. During
their stay in the South Caucasus, the fellow is expected to give an
ARISC-sponsored presentation on a subject related to their research. The
fellow will acknowledge ARISC in any publication that emerges from the
research carried out during the fellowship.
