EAST EUROPEAN STUDIES
WOODROW WILSON INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR SCHOLARS
NOTE: An individual may apply for only one category of support per fiscal year.

RESEARCH SCHOLAR COMPETITION

East European Studies has been awarded funds by the Soviet-East European Research and Training Act of 1983 (Title VIII) of the U.S. Department of State's Authorization Act for its Research Scholar grant. These scholarships are available to American citizens (or permanent residents) in the early stages of their academic careers (generally before tenure but after Ph.D.) or American scholars whose careers have been interrupted or delayed. For non-academics, an equivalent degree of professional achievement is expected.

Research scholarships will be awarded for three months of research in Washington, D.C at a stipend of $3,000 per month. Office space at the Wilson Center and a research assistant will be provided whenever possible. This is residential program requiring visiting scholars to remain in the Washington, D.C. area and to forego other academic and professional obligations for the duration of the grant. Access to the Library of Congress, the National Archives, and other resources of the Washington area will be facilitated.

The applicant must submit a concise description of his/her research project, a curriculum vita, a completed application form available for download at www.wilsoncenter.org/ees/grants.htm, and three letters specifically in support of the research to be conducted at the Center. The deadline for receipt of applications and supporting materials is November 1. Applicants are notified approximately ten weeks after the closing date. Grantees can start their appointments as early as May.

SHORT-TERM GRANTS
(one month duration)

With funding provided by Title VIII (Soviet and East European Research and Training Act), East European Studies offers short-term grants to scholars having particular need for the library, archival, and other specialized resources of the Washington, D.C. area. This program is limited to American citizens (or permanent residents) at the advanced graduate and postdoctoral level and to an equivalent degree of professional achievement for those from other fields. Short-term grants provide a stipend of $100 per day for one month (for a maximum of $3,000). This program requires visiting scholars to remain in the Washington, D.C. area and to forego other academic and professional obligations for the duration of the grant. No office space, however, is provided.

The applicant must submit a concise description of his/her research project, a curriculum vita, a statement on preferred and alternate dates of residence in Washington, D.C., and two letters specifically in support of the research to be conducted at the Center. Members of the East European Academic Council review applications at regular intervals throughout the year. Closing dates are December 1, March 1, June 1, and September 1. Applicants are notified approximately four weeks after the closing date.
