Fellowship Announcement

The Social Science Research Council and the American
Council of Learned Societies announce the 2007
competition of the INTERNATIONAL DISSERTATION RESEARCH
FELLOWSHIP (IDRF) program designed to support
distinguished graduate students in the humanities and
social sciences conducting dissertation research
outside the United States. Fifty fellowships of
approximately $20,000 will be awarded in 2007 with
funds provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The IDRF program is committed to scholarship that
advances knowledge about non-U.S. cultures and
societies grounded in empirical and site-specific
research (involving fieldwork, research in archival or
manuscript collections, or quantitative data
collection). The program promotes research that is at
once located in a specific discipline and geographical
region and is engaged with interdisciplinary and
cross-regional perspectives.

Applicants must have completed all Ph.D. requirements
except on-site dissertation research by the time the
fellowship begins or by December 2007, whichever comes
first. Fellowships will provide support for nine to
twelve months of dissertation research. The
fellowship must be held for a single continuous period
within the eighteen months between July 2007 and
December 2008.

For more detailed information on application
procedures and eligibility requirements, visit the
IDRF website at www.ssrc.org/programs/idrf or contact
program staff at idrf@ssrc.org.

Deadline: November 1, 2006.
