Fulbright Research Initiative on Ethnic Conflict
Grant Deadline: 2002-10-01
Date Submitted: 2002-08-07
Announcement ID: 130964



The deadline is approaching for the Fulbright New Century Scholars Program
(NCS), an exciting and innovative new research initiative in the Fulbright
Scholar Program.
Now in its second year, NCS brings together annually 25-30 outstanding
research scholars from the U.S. and abroad to engage in multidisciplinary
collaboration on a topic of global significance under the leadership of a
Distinguished New Century Scholar Leader. For the academic year 2002-2003,
the research focus is "Addressing Sectarian, Ethnic and Cultural Conflict
within and across National Borders." Edward Tiryakian, Professor of
Sociology, Duke University, will serve as the NCS Distinguished Scholar
Leader. Approximately one third of the participants will be U.S. scholars;
the remaining two thirds will be visiting scholars from outside the U.S.

NCS provides a unique research opportunity for participants to pursue
individual research objectives as well as to engage in ongoing collaboration
and interaction focusing on the NCS research theme. NCS Fellows will not
only undertake a 3-6 month international research visit during the program
year but will also come together for a pre-program orientation and goal
setting session, a mid-term meeting, and a final plenary seminar.

Benefits include individual awards in the amount of $41,500 plus travel and
per diem to cover participation in program seminars and meetings.

Deadline for receipt of applications is October 1, 2002.
