Center for Chinese Studies

Program on the People's Republic of China International Fellowship

As China continues its rapid development and urbanization, land policy and taxation issues are at the forefront of public policy debate.

The Lincolns Institute's China Program invites proposals addressing China's land market development, planning, local public finances and property taxation, and urban development and the poor.

Projects may address these issues through theoretical work and/or specific investigations. Empirical studies are highly encouraged.

Award & Eligibility

The Institute particularly invites proposals from scholars based outside of the People's Republic of China, as the China Program has a separate fellowship program for China's domestic scholars. However, successful projects in the past have often been conducted by teams of scholars from international institutions and Chinese universitites.

Funding for each approved project is between $25,000 and $30,000.
