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.
Deadline: November 15, 2005

with their disciplinary training, to address issues that transcend their
disciplines or area specializations.
Deadline: November 10, 2005
