| Deadlines: | November 1, 2004 (online) - November 8, 2004 (mail-in) |
| Description: |
Administered by the Social Science Research Council (http://ssrc.org/)
in partnership with the American Council of Learned Societies, the
International Dissertation Field Research Fellowship program provides
support for social scientists and humanists conducting dissertation field
research in all areas and regions of the world. Up to fifty fellowships will
be awarded in the year 2005. Funds are provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. IDRF awards are designed to enable doctoral candidates of proven achievement and outstanding potential to use their knowledge of distinctive cultures, societies, languages, economies, polities, and histories, in combination with their disciplinary training, to address issues that transcend their disciplines or area specializations. The program is open to full-time graduate students in the humanities and social sciences, regardless of citizenship, enrolled in doctoral programs in the United States. The program invites proposals for field research on all areas or regions of the world, as well as for research that is comparative, cross-regional, and cross-cultural. Proposals that identify the U.S. as a case for comparative inquiry are welcome; however, proposals that require no substantial research outside the U.S. are not eligible. Standard fellowships will provide support for nine to twelve months in the field, plus travel expenses. Funding will rarely exceed $20,000. See the SSCR Web site for complete program information and application procedures. RFP Link: http://ssrc.org/programs/idrf/ |

| Description: |
The Wenner-Gren Foundation pursues its two major goals - advancing basic
research in anthropology and building an international community of
anthropologists - through several funding programs. Individual Research Grants Description: Grants for amounts up to $25,000 are available for basic research in all branches of anthropology. Grants are made to seed innovative approaches and ideas, to cover specific expenses or phases of a project, and/or to encourage aid from other funding agencies. The foundation particularly invites projects employing comparative perspectives or integrating two or more subfields of anthropology. A small number of awards is available for projects designed to develop resources for anthropological research and scholarly exchange. The foundation, under its Individual Research Grants Program, offers: * Dissertation Fieldwork Grants * Post-Ph.D. Grants * Richard Carley Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships.
Budgetary Guidelines: Grants cover research expenses directly related and
essential to the project (i.e., travel, living expenses during fieldwork,
equipment, supplies, research assistance, and other relevant expenditures).
Aid is not provided for salary and/or fringe benefits of applicant, tuition,
non-project personnel, travel to meetings, institutional overhead, or
institutional support. Low priority is given to dissertation writeup or
other support for writing (except under the Hunt Fellowship), publication
assistance, and film- or video-making (unless inherent to the research
project). Expenses incurred prior to the effective date of an award will not
be covered; budgets should reflect foundation deadlines. Dissertation Fieldwork Grants are awarded to individuals to aid
doctoral dissertation or thesis research. Applicants must be enrolled for a
doctoral degree. Application must be made jointly with a thesis advisor or
other scholar who will undertake responsibility for supervising the project.
Awards are contigent upon the applicant's successful completion of all
requirements for the degree other than the dissertation/thesis. Applications
may be submitted before such requirements have been met; however, should an
award be approved, the foundation will at that time request evidence of that
the applicant is "all-but-dissertation/ advanced-to-candidacy".
Qualified students of all nationalities are eligible. |

Proposals requesting support for a second year of field research will be funded only under exceptional circumstances. Proposals may cover all periods in history, but must address topics that have relevance to contemporary issues and debates. Applicants must complete all Ph.D. requirements except fieldwork and dissertation by the time the fellowship begins or by December 2005, whichever comes first.
