International Dissertation Research Fellowships
The International Dissertation Research Fellowship (IDRF) program supports distinguished graduate students in the humanities and social sciences conducting dissertation research outside the United States. Seventy-five fellowships will be awarded in 2009 with funds provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
The IDRF program is committed to empirical and site-specific research that
advances knowledge about non-U.S. cultures and societies (involving fieldwork,
research in archival or manuscript collections, or quantitative data
collection). The program promotes research that is situated in a specific
discipline and geographical region and is engaged with interdisciplinary and
cross-regional perspectives.
Fellowships will provide support for nine to twelve months of dissertation research. Individual awards will be approximately $20,000. No awards will be made for proposals requiring less than nine months of on-site research. The 2009 IDRF fellowship must be held for a single continuous period within the eighteen months between July 2009 and December 2010.
The program is administered by the Social Science Research Council in partnership with the American Council of Learned Societies.
