  • Central Asia, Louis Dupree Prize for Research
    A prize of $2,500 will be awarded for the most promising dissertation involving field research in Central Asia, a region broadly defined to include Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Kirghizia, Mongolia, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and culturally related contiguous areas of Iran, Pakistan, Kazakhstan and China. Only candidates who receive a dissertation research fellowship from an SSRC/ACLS program will be eligible to apply. The prize is intended to enrich the individual's field experience by making possible a longer stay or more extensive travel within the region.
  • Eastern Europe
    This grant is intended to support research undertaken outside Eastern Europe, although short visits to the area may be proposed as part of a coherent program primarily undertaken elsewhere.
  • Eurasia
    The Eurasia Fellowship covers Eastern Europe, the Russian Empire and the successor states of the former Soviet Union. It offers fellowships for individual and institutional awards.
  • International Dissertation Field Research Fellowships (IDRF)
    The fellowships will enable doctoral candidates of proven achievement and outstanding potential to use their knowledge of distinctive areas, cultures, languages, economies, polities and historical experiences, in combination with their disciplinary training, to address issues that transcend their disciplines or area specializations.
  • Japan Program
    The SSRC and the American Council of Learned Societies sponsor four research programs open to scholars interested in Japan.
