CRRC is happy to announce the Carnegie Research Fellowship Program. The program offers exceptional social science research opportunities in the United States for scholars from the Caucasus.
Specifically, scholars in the social sciences may apply for individual, non-degree research opportunities at universities and institutes in the United States. The program is directed at advanced researchers that already have a demonstrated track record in social science research. The research period lasts up to a full academic year, starting either September 2008 or January 2009.
Up to three scholars from the South Caucasus will be selected, to join a select group of excellent researchers from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus, as part of a prestigious program administered by the National Council for Eurasian and East European Research (NCEEER). All costs for the scholars are covered, including round-trip airfare.
Applications need to be handed in as hard copies (and NCEEER, the organization administering the competition does not make any exceptions). Deadline for applications is April 30, 5 p.m., 2008, to be handed in to your local CRRC office. We suggest you study details in the guidelines
Note that the application process is very competitive, since a very concise research proposal is expected. We therefore very strongly encourage you to take advantage of specific mentoring that we will provide, to help you improve your application. The Carnegie Research Fellowship should present an extraordinary chance to researchers that can advance their work through a period of self-directed study in the US, and we will be happy to coach applicants.
Register your interest by writing to nana@crrccenters. org now, and no later than March 21, to learn how we can help you make your application competitive.
The Caucasus Research Resource Centres program (CRRC) is a network of research, resource and training centers established in the capital cities of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia with the goal of strengthening social science research and public policy analysis in the South Caucasus. A partnership between the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Eurasia Partnership Foundation, and local universities, the CRRC network offers scholars and practitioners stable opportunities for
integrated research, training and collaboration in the region.
