External Sources of Research and Study Abroad Funding: Social Science Research Council (SSRC) Fellowships REEI offers small grants to help graduate students who require modest support (up to $700/year) for research-related travel (domestic or international), travel for participation in a structured internship program, or travel for advanced language study. The grants may also be used for expenses related to publication of completed research projects. Students applying under this program may also be eligible for support under Office of the Vice President for International Affairs International Enhancement Grants. Please discuss your plans with the REEI assistant director or advisor before submitting your application. Applicants must submit the following:
Applications are available in REEI or may be downloaded in MS Word format. Application deadlines are October 1, January 15, April 1 (if funds available). Student Pre-Dissertation and Graduate Student Travel Grants REEI offers two grants to support research-related travel for preliminary dissertation field activities such as exploring potential research sites, archives, and other research resources, establishing institutional affiliations, and identifying and meeting with scholars, archivists and specialists. The grants are primarily intended for doctoral students who will apply in the next academic year for funding to conduct dissertation research abroad. Students who have reached the ABD stage and have formally begun dissertation research are not eligible for funding under this program. REEI/Mellon Endowment grants are limited to $1,500 per student, paid as a travel reimbursement. The Office of the Vice President for International Affairs also conducts two university-wide competitions. The Pre-dissertation Travel Grant provides a stipend and covers airfare for pre-dissertation research during the summer. The International Enhancement Grant provides up to $2000 of funding to graduate students participating in internationally focused academic or training opportunities. Competitions for the International Enhancement Grant are held for the fall and spring semesters as well as the summer. More information and application forms available online at: http://www.indiana.edu/~ovpia/ovpia/funding/oGrants.php Please direct inquiries about the Pre-dissertation Grant and the International Enhancement Grant to Paul Fogleman - pfoglema@indiana.edu or (812) 855-3948. Students applying to the travel grant competition are encouraged to submit one copy of their completed application plus supporting materials to REEI, rather than submit two separate applications. Hutton Honors College International Experiences Program (for Undergraduates Only) The Hutton Honors College provides many ways for students to enlarge their horizons, but central to the concept of gaining broader moral and cultural perspectives is foreign study. Edward L. Hutton International Experiences Program Grants help students to experience the ways of other peoples and the sights and tastes of other cultures. International experiences can be shaped in many ways:
External Sources of Research and Study Abroad Funding: Social Science Research Council (SSRC) Fellowships SSRC fellowship and grant programs provide support and professional recognition to innovators within fields, and especially to younger researchers whose work and ideas will have longer-term impact on society and scholarship. These programs often target the spaces between disciplines, where new perspectives emerge and struggle for acceptance, thus ensuring the production of knowledge and expertise on key topics, regions, and social challenges. They promote the diversification of knowledge production, strengthening research by ensuring that it remains open to (and challenged by) a range of perspectives, backgrounds, and nationalities. Most support from the Council goes to predissertation, dissertation, and postdoctoral fellowships, offered through annual, peer-reviewed competitions. Some programs offer summer institutes, advanced research grants, and grants for professionals and practitioners to conduct research. Although SSRC fellowship and grant programs take a variety of forms, they share the goals of supporting innovative knowledge production and of building research capacity in areas of critical social importance. If you are interested in applying for SSRC fellowships and grants please see the SSRC website.
