GRANTS- Kennan Institute Short-term Grants, Deadline Sept 1, 2002

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 
(excluding the Baltic states), and who demonstrate a particular need to 
utilize the library, archival, and other specialized resources of the 
Washington, D.C., area. Policy-relevant research is preferred. 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. Travel and 
accommodation expenses are not directly covered by this grant. 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. All of these materials 
may be submitted via e-mail except for the letters of recommendation. The 
letters should be sent, with signature, either by fax or by post. 
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. Awardees who are not U.S. 
citizens or permanent residents must come on a J-1 visa sponsored by the 
Institute in order to collect their stipend. 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 2003-2004 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.  For 
more information, please contact Jennifer Giglio via e-mail at 
giglioje@wwic.si.edu, call (202) 691-4246, or fax (202) 691-4247.
