SSRC/ACLS--International Dissertation Field Research Fellowships

These fellowships support humanists and social scientists conducting
dissertation field research in all areas and regions of the world. The
International Dissertation Field Research Fellowship Program helps
promising scholars to launch their careers with substantive knowledge
about societies, cultures, and/or polities outside the United States. The
Fellowship promotes scholarship that treats place and setting in relation
to global and transitional phenomena as well as particular histories and
cultures.

Eligibility: The program is open to full-time graduate students in the
	humanities and social sciences -- regardless of citizenship
	--enrolled in doctoral programs in the U.S. The program invites 
	proposals for research that is comparative, cross-regional, and/or
	cross-cultural. Proposals that identify the U.S. as a case for
	comparative inquiry are welcome; however, proposals that require
	no field research outside the Unites States are not eligible.

Period: Standard fellowships provide support for nine months in the field,
	plus travel expenses. In some cases, the candidate may propose
	less than nine months of field work, but no award will be given 
	for less than six months. The fellowship must be held for a single
        continuous period within the 18 months between July 2000 and 
 	December 20001.

Award:	Stipends will rarely exceed $17,000.

Deadline: November 15, 1999
