KENNAN INSTITUTE SHORT-TERM GRANTS (up to one months' duration)
The Kennan Institute offers Short-term Grants to scholars who demonstrate
a particular need to utilize the library, archival, and other specialized
resources of the Washington, D.C., area. Academic participants must either
possess a doctoral degree or be doctoral candidates who have nearly
completed their dissertations. For non-academics, an equivalent degree of
professional achievement is expected.
Short-term Grants provide a stipend of $100 per day. There is no official
application form for short-term grants. The applicant is requested to
submit a concise description (700-800 words) of his or her research
project, a curriculum vitae, a statement on preferred dates of residence
in Washington, D.C., and two letters of recommendation specifically in
support of the research to be conducted at the Institute. Applicants
should also note their citizenship or permanent residency status in their
materials. Applications should be submitted in clear dark type, printed on
one side only, without staples.
Grant recipients are required to be in residence in Washington, D.C., for
the duration of their grant. Four rounds of competitive selection for
Short-term Grants are held each year. Closing dates are December 1, March
1, June 1, and September 1. Applicants are notified of the competition
results roughly six weeks after the closing date. U.S. citizens, permanent
residents, and non-Americans are eligible for Short-term Grants, although
funding for non-American applicants is limited. Approximately one in three
American applicants and one in six non-American applicants are awarded
Short-term Grants in each of the four competition rounds.
The Short-term Grant Program is supported by the Russian, Eurasian, and
East European Research and Training Program of the U.S. Department of
State (Title VIII) and the Kennan Institute endowment. Continuation of the
Short-term Grant Program in 1999-2000 is contingent on future funding.
