The Dr. Richard M. Hunt Fellowship for the Study of German History, Politics, Society, and Culture was launched in 2003 to enable promising American academics to probe issues of both historical and contemporary significance.
The American
Council on Germany's Dr. Richard M. Hunt Fellowship is intended to
promote the cooperative study of Germany. Named in honor of the Harvard
historian who devoted much of his career to assisting and mentoring
younger scholars, this fellowship provides support for individuals
interested in the political, social, and cultural history of Germany.
The fellowship program aims to serve academics in relatively early stages of their careers (including individuals enrolled in Ph.D. programs who are finishing their dissertation). This fellowship is open to scholars with an academic affiliation and to those who are independent or have other professional associations. All applicants must hold United States citizenship. Applicants should demonstrate an interest in German political, social, and cultural affairs; however, no prior experience in Germany is required. While helpful, knowledge of the German language is not a prerequisite. Fellows are required to develop research itineraries in consultation with the American Council on Germany.
The Dr. Richard M. Hunt Fellowship award covers the costs of pre-approved international and domestic travel and a per diem of $200 for up to 28 days in Germany. Following the completion of the trip, fellows submit a report summarizing their findings.
Fellows are selected through a competitive application process. The selection committee for the Dr. Richard M. Hunt Fellowship will evaluate applications based on the following criteria: the contribution the project will make to a better understanding of German history (and more specifically, the political, social, and cultural components); the feasibility of the proposed project; the training of the applicant; and the scholarly potential of the applicant.URL: http://www.acgusa.org/about2.php?pagename=Fellowships&subpagename=For+Scholars&toppagename=Hunt+Fellowships&mlinkid=28

The Dr. Guido Goldman Fellowship for the Study of German and European Politics, Political Economy, and International Affairs was established in 2003 to promote the study of German and European issues by American scholars in relatively early stages of their careers. Since reunification in 1990, Germany has realized greater significance as an economic and political powerhouse, both in Europe and on a global level. Because of its status as a reunited sovereign nation, a leading member of the European Union, and a key partner in NATO, understanding contemporary Germany is of great importance. American scholars, journalists, and analysts can play a role in addressing the key issues in Germany - and Europe as a whole. Topics that would fall under the rubric of the fellowship include the formulation of German economic and foreign policy and the evolution of U.S.-European relations. Fellows are required to develop research itineraries in consultation with the American Council on Germany. The Dr. Guido Goldman Fellowship award covers the cost of pre-approved international and domestic travel and a per diem of $200 for up to 28 days in Germany and elsewhere in Europe relevant to the research being conducted. Following the completion of the trip, fellows submit a report summarizing their findings. The fellowship program aims to serve academics in relatively early stages of their careers (including individuals enrolled in Ph.D. programs who are finishing their dissertation). All applicants must hold United States citizenship. Knowledge of the German language is not a prerequisite.
