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

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. 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 2000-2001 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.

KENNAN INSTITUTE RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIPS
(3-9 months duration)

Research scholarships are available to academic participants in the early stages of their career (before tenure) or scholars whose careers have been interrupted or delayed. For non-academics, an equivalent degree of professional achievement is expected. Eligibility is limited to the postdoctoral level for academic participants, although doctoral candidates in the process of completing a dissertation may apply (the dissertation must be successfully defended before taking residence at the Kennan Institute). AWARDS ARE LIMITED TO SCHOLARS WHO ARE U.S. CITIZENS OR PERMANENT RESIDENTS UPON COMMENCEMENT OF THEIR SCHOLARSHIP.

Research proposals examining topics in Eurasian studies are eligible. Those proposals related to regional Russia, the NIS, and contemporary issues are particularly welcome. The Research Scholar grant offers a stipend of $3,000 per month, research facilities, word processing support, and some research assistance. Grant recipients are required to be in residence at the Institute in Washington, D.C., for the duration of their grant.

One round of competitive Research Scholar selection is held per year. The deadline for receipt of applications is October 1. Decisions on appointments will be made in late January 2000; grantees are able to commence their appointments as early as July 2000. In past years, the Kennan Institute awarded Research Scholarships to one in eight applicants.

The Research Scholarship Program is supported by the Russian, Eurasian, and East European Research and Training Program of the U.S. Department of State (Title VIII). Continuation of the Research Scholarship Program in 2000-2001 is contingent on future funding.

To request an application or for further information, please contact Jennifer Giglio by phone at 202-691-4246, by fax at 202-691-4247, by e-mail at giglioje@wwic.si.edu, or by mail at The Kennan Institute, One Woodrow Wilson Plaza, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20004-3027.
