American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS and the National Council for Eurasian and East European Research (NCEEER) are now accepting applications for the 2008-2009 NEH Collaborative Humanities Fellowship. Application deadline: February 15.
NEH grants provide up to $40,000 for four to nine months of research in Eastern Europe and Eurasia for U.S. post-doctoral scholars. Research topics are not restricted to regional or area studies, but must involve at least one collaborator from the region and research in the region itself. Applicants must propose to conduct at least four months of full-time research, of which two months must be spent overseas. Scholars who are able to begin their projects between May 2008 and May 2009 are welcome to apply to this year's competition. Funding is available through American Councils and NCEEER from National Endowment for the Humanities grant support.
American Councils and NCEEER encourage applications from scholars proposing innovative, interdisciplinary approaches to their subjects, and all applications receive equal consideration during the selection process. Program organizers support the work of U.S. humanists from fields that have been underrepresented in scholarship on Eastern Europe and Eurasia in the past, such as American studies, art history, comparative literature, cultural anthropology, musicology, and philosophy, as well as projects that strengthen international academic linkages beyond the traditional regional centers. All awards place a premium on the potential for further valuable humanistic collaboration beyond the specific award period of the NEH fellowship. U.S. citizenship, permanent resident status, or residency in the U.S. for three years before date of application is required.
