Special Initiatives Fellowship Program
The Special Initiatives Research Fellowship offers post-doctoral scholars up to $35,000 for field-based, policy-relevant research in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Applicants may apply to conduct research in more than one country, but must plan to spend at least four months in the region overall. The American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS administers the program with funding from the U.S. Department of State's Program for the Study of Eastern Europe and the Independent States of the former Soviet Union (Title VIII). If desired by the fellow, American Councils can arrange placement at Eurasian institutions and universities appropriate for each fellow’s proposed research project. American Councils can also provide visas and other logistical support, if desired by the fellow. American Councils regional offices located throughout Central Asia and the South Caucasus provide ongoing logistical support to U.S. scholars in the field.
