Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine
ACLS Humanities Program in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine
Actual amounts of grants will vary depending on available funds, but ACLS expects them to be approximately $4,000.
Deadline: Nov 17, 2009
American Council of Learned Societies announces a competition for short-term grants in the humanities in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine for academic year 2009-2010. Grants will be awarded on the basis of peer-review of written proposals by an independent commission of distinguished scholars from the region and from western countries. Grants will identify outstanding scholarly work that stimulates and enables the work of others. The long-term objective of this program is
to assure the continued development of humanities scholarship in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine. Funds must be used in the region, not for residence or travel outside the region. All disciplines and topics within the humanities are eligible including history, literature, languages and linguistics, philosophy, cultural studies, religious studies, studies of visual and performing arts, and gender studies. Applications in social sciences such as political science, sociology, economics, international relations, and psychology, are not eligible unless they are based on study of history or culture and use qualitative methods. Eligible projects include archival or field research intended for presentation in a book-length monograph, collections of source materials, or other substantial scholarly products work on archival or museum collections making them more useful for specific research projects.
Applicants must hold "kandidatskaia" degree, or show evidence of equivalent professional experience must be a citizen of, and a resident of, Belarus, Russia, or Ukraine. Fluency in English is not required. Recipients of previous ACLS grants are not eligible but all who applied in the past without success are welcome to apply again. Collaborative projects are encouraged (individuals should apply on behalf of teams).
