SSRC Eurasia Program Fellowships

Comments: The Eurasia Program offers fellowship support that provides financial and academic support to graduate students in the early stages of dissertation development, and Ph.D. candidates near completion of their doctoral programs in social sciences and related humanities.  Pre-Dissertation Awards (PDAs) enable early stage graduate students to perform initial field assessments of up to 4 weeks for archival exploration, preliminary interviews, and other forms of feasibility studies.  Proposals should reflect a clear plan, require a budget of less than $3,000, and clearly articulate the policy relevance of the proposed subject. Dissertation Development Awards (DDAs) are intended to provide one year of support to enable the prompt completion of a PhD dissertation.  The competition is open to advanced graduate students who have completed their fieldwork. Stipend up to $20,000.  All applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States as of December 1, 2012.
