Comments: The Research Travel Grants will support dissertation research-related travel by advanced graduate students. Grants, up to a maximum of $2,500 but most smaller, will be awarded for academic year 2011-2012, beginning with the summer quarter. The awards are designed to help defray the costs of travel for students who have a specific research goal critical to their dissertations. Advanced students in any of the Social Sciences Ph.D. programs may apply. To be eligible for consideration, a student must have been admitted to Ph.D. candidacy by the tenure of the grant, and preferably by the time of application, and must complete the research project no later than May 1, 2012. Awards will be funded by the Overseas Research Travel Grant Fund, the Orin Williams Fund, the Agnes and Nathan Janco Travel Grant Fund and the Renck Memorial Award Fund. The Agnes and Nathan Janco Travel Grant is made possible by a gift from Joel Janco in honor of Agnes and Nathan Janco in recognition of their love of travel and exploration, their compassion for others, and implacable dedication to science and the arts. The Renck Memorial Award provides $1,000 for a student(s) in Anthropology, Human Development, Political Science, Psychology, or Sociology who is engaging in qualitative research related to the media.

The Sawyer Seminar on "Around 1948: Interdisciplinary Approaches to
Global Transformation" at the University of Chicago invites applications
for two Dissertation Fellowship awards for either the academic year
2011-12 or the subsequent academic year 2012-13. The seminar looks at the remarkable historical moment
'around 1948' across a range of international locations and from the
point of view of several disciplines.
The Dissertation Fellows will be expected to pursue research and write-up in residence at the University of Chicago in 2011-12 or 2012-13. They will be expected to participate in the Mellon Project community by attending the workshop, lectures and conference events. The fellowship provides tuition, the Student Life Fee, University student health insurance on the Basic Plan (if the fellow elects to take it), and a stipend of $23,000.
To be eligible for this grant, students must have exhausted their existing aid commitments beginning in the academic year in which they hold the award (2011-12 or 2012-13). They cannot have held or currently hold any University of Chicago (i.e., divisional, departmental, center) dissertation write-up fellowship. The Sawyer awards may not be held by students who are beyond the tenth year in their program in 2011-12; beyond the ninth year in 2012-13. Students applying to hold the award in 2011-12 must be admitted to candidacy by March 31, 2011; to hold the award in 2012-13, they must demonstrate admission to candidacy by March 31, 2012.

Applicants must have completed their course work within the last five years and provide evidence that they have been formally admitted to candidacy for a Ph.D. Selected fellows will be able to work on their doctorate 50 percent of the time, with the remainder devoted to policy-oriented research projects assigned by Hudson Institute in their general area of interest. Hudson will pay each fellow a $24,000 stipend for one 10-month academic year. It also will provide office space and limited administrative support.

Some travel for research for brief periods is allowed, but this must be discussed with the Director in advance.

Comments: Grants of up to $2,500 are awarded biannually and are intended to enable graduate students, post-doctoral scholars and other researchers to come to the Harry S. Truman Library for one to three weeks to use its collections. Preference will be given to projects that have application to enduring public policy and foreign policy issues and that have a high probability of being published or publicly disseminated in some other way.
