 Postdoctoral Fellowships in East European Studies
Amount: up to $25,000
Tenure: 6 to 12 consecutive months between
July 1, 2003 and September 1, 2004.
Deadline: November 1, 2002 for submitting completed application.
Decisions will be announced in late April 2003.
The American Council of Learned Societies will offer support for
postdoctoral research and write-up in East European studies. Applications
should be for research in East European studies, that is, for work related
to Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia,
Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, or the successor states of the former
Yugoslavia, in any discipline(s) of the humanities and the social sciences.
Proposals dealing with Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, and the successor states
of the former Yugoslavia are particularly encouraged. The Program supports
comparative work considering more than one country of East Europe or
relating East European societies to those of other parts of the world. These
fellowships are made possible with funding from the Department of State
under the Research and Training for Eastern Europe and the Independent
States of the Former Soviet Union Act of 1983 (Title VIII), and other
sources.
In awarding these grants, primary considerations are the scholarly merit of
the proposal, its importance to the development of East European Studies,
and the scholarly potential, accomplishments, and financial need of the
applicant. All proposals should be for scholarly work, the product of which
is to be disseminated in English. Fellowship funds may not be used in
Western Europe. The fellowships are primarily intended to support research
and writing in the United States, although short visits to the countries of
Eastern Europe may be proposed.

Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States, and
hold a Ph.D. degree conferred prior to November 1, 2002, or its equivalent
as demonstrated by professional experience and publications.

Approximately 4-6 fellowships will be available. They are intended primarily
as salary replacement to provide time free for research; the funds may be
used to supplement sabbatical salaries or awards from other sources.
Scholars may apply, therefore, for fellowships of up to $25,000 for six to
twelve consecutive months of full-time research between July 1, 2003 and
September 1, 2004.

Dissertation Fellowships in East European Studies
Amount: up to $15,000
Tenure: One year beginning June 2003.
Deadline: November 1, 2002 for submitting completed applications.
Decisions will be announced in late April 2003.
The American Council of Learned Societies will offer support for
dissertation research and write-up in East European studies. Applications,
therefore, should be for doctoral dissertations related to Albania,
Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland,
Romania, Slovakia, or the successor states of the former Yugoslavia in any
discipline or disciplines of the humanities and the social sciences.
Comparative projects are also welcomed. These fellowships are made possible
with funding from the Department of State under the Research and Training
for Eastern Europe and the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union Act
of 1983 (Title VIII) and other sources.
Fellowships will be granted on the basis of the scholarly potential of the
applicant, the quality and scholarly importance of the proposed work, and
its importance to the development of scholarship on East Europe. Fellowship
funds may not be used in Western Europe. The fellowships are intended to
support dissertation writing in the US after research is complete, although
short visits to the countries of Eastern Europe may be proposed.

Currently enrolled graduate students who will have completed all
requirements for the doctorate except the dissertation by June 2003 may
apply for one year, non-renewable support for work on the dissertation. The
stipend will be up to $15,000, and approximately 10-12 fellowships will be
available. Applicants must be citizens or permanent legal residents of the
United States.

As a condition of the award, the applicant's home university will be
required (consistent with its policies and regulations) to provide or to
waive normal academic year tuition payments or to provide alternative
cost-sharing support.

forms or to begin the Online Fellowships Application (OFA) process.
