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 grants for summer research or language institutes not at IU you must apply directly through the SSRC. EU Center Pre-dissertation Summer Grant The European Union Center of Excellence will award one pre-dissertation summer grant for 2007. The purpose of the grant is 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 local scholars, archivists and professional contacts. It is primarily intended for doctoral students who will apply in the next academic year for external funding to conduct their dissertation research abroad. Students who have reached the ABD stage and formally begun dissertation research are not eligible for funding under this program. The EU Center pre-dissertation summer grant is limited to €2000 paid as travel reimbursement. The grant recipient will be selected in a competitive process by a committee of five faculty members who represent key departments and schools, as well as different geographic areas. Applications will be judged on the academic quality of the project, likeliness of completion in a timely manner, and the relevance of the project for scholars and professionals. Topics for primary consideration include policy issues of special relevance and timeliness, such as EU enlargement; the transatlantic relationship; law and comparative constitutional development; business, finance, and economics; agro-environmental policies; immigration; minorities; civil society; gender; and others. The deadline for submission of all application materials is 12 February 2007. For application visit the EU Center website.
