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.

East European Studies of the Woodrow Wilson Center and the Committee on East European Studies of the American Council of Learned Societies are soliciting applications for the fourteenth annual training seminar for junior scholars in East European studies, to be held 10-13 August, 2001, at the historic Wye Conference Center on the Chesapeake Bay in southern Maryland. These scholarships are available only to American citizens or permanent residents. All transportation, accommodation, and meal costs will be covered by the sponsors. Graduate students enrolled in a doctoral program at an American university, who have completed all requirements and research for the Ph.D. except the dissertation (and scholars who received their Ph.D.s in 1998 or later) in any field of East European or Baltic studies are eligible to apply. Russia and the Soviet successor states are excluded. Participants will present their research, discuss the works of other junior scholars, and exchange impressions of the state of the field with a group of senior scholars.
The application must include: a completed application form (which may be downloaded from www.wilsoncenter.org/ees/grants.htm#junior); a curriculum vitae (which must include social security number, institution where degree is expected or was received, title of doctoral dissertation, and name and department of doctoral advisor); a single page, single-spaced statement of the work you wish to discuss, either the dissertation or another project; and one letter of recommendation from Ph.D. advisor.
