> 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

> cannot provide office space or computers for Short-term Scholars. 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

> Short-term Grants are held each year. Closing dates are December 1, March
1,

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.

> 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.
