American Councils Southeast Europe Research Program

Application Deadline: Applications for fall 2006 and academic year
2006-2007 programs are due on January 15.

The American Councils Southeast Europe Research program provides full
support for graduate students, faculty, and post-doctoral scholars
seeking to conduct research for three to nine months in Albania,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Romania, and Serbia
and Montenegro. Scholars may apply for support for research in more than
one country during a single trip, provided they intend to work in the
field for a total of three to nine months. Full and partial fellowships
are available for research and/or language training through American
Councils from the U.S. Department of State (Title VIII) grant support.

Award Components: The total value of Title VIII Southeast Europe
Research fellowships, administered by American Councils, ranges from
$5,000 to $25,000. Typical awards include: 
--International airfare from the scholar's home to his/her host city
overseas. 
--Academic affiliation at a leading local university. 
--Visa(s) arranged by American Councils in direct collaboration with
academic host institutions in order to facilitate archive access and
guarantee timely visa registration. 
--Housing stipends or direct payment for housing in university
dormitories 
--A monthly living stipend. 
--Financial and logistical support for travel within the region as
required by research. 
--Health insurance of up to $50,000 per accident or illness. 
--Ongoing logistical support from American Councils offices throughout
the region. 

Application Requirements: Scholars in the humanities and social
sciences are eligible to apply for the program. While a wide-range of
topics receive support each year, all funded research must contribute to
a body of knowledge enabling the U.S. to better understand the region
and formulate effective policies within it. All applicants should
clearly describe the policy-relevance of their work, be it in
anthropology, literature, history, international relations, political
science, or some other field. 

Applicants must submit research proposals in English and their proposed
host-country language, curricula vitae in English and the host-country
language, archive lists (if relevant) in English and the host-country
language, a bibliography in English, an application form, a clear copy
of the inside page of their passports, and two letters of recommendation
from colleagues, professors, or other qualified persons who are familiar
with the applicant's work. Research proposals must be two to three pages
long, typed. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
All competitions for American Councils funding from Title VIII
fellowship sources are open and merit based. 

Applications for fall and academic year programs are due on January 15,
2006.
