AISLS Dissertation Planning Grant 2010,Sri Lanka
Job Description: AISLS dissertation planning grants are designed to enable graduate students intending to do dissertation research in Sri Lanka to make a pre-dissertation visit to Sri Lanka to investigate the feasibility of their topic, to sharpen their research design, or to make other practical arrangements for future research. A list of previous recipients of these awards is available. Although language instruction is not the primary focus of these awards, successful applicants may simultaneously hold an AISLS language instruction grant.
Eligibility Guidelines
Applicants will normally be enrolled in a PhD program (or equivalent) in a US university. There are no citizenship requirements, but some of the funds available for this program may only be spent on awards for U.S. citizens.
Applicants should have completed most of their graduate coursework by the time they take up their grant. The grant is especially intended for students who are in the process of completing their dissertation proposals and preparing applications for funds to support their dissertation research, but other purposes may be proposed.
Applicants should normally plan to spend at least six weeks in Sri Lanka. Applicants whose research will also require spending time in libraries or archives in a third country may request funds for up to two weeks for this purpose, beyond the time spent in Sri Lanka.
Benefits
* A per diem of $390/week, for a period up to eight weeks.
* Reimbursement for roundtrip airfare between the United States and Colombo, for an amount up to $2,000.
* Reimbursement for any visa fees paid to the Sri Lankan government.
Competition Criteria
Projects in all fields in the social sciences and humanities are eligible. Proposals will be judged on their quality and on the potential of the dissertation research to strengthen scholarship on Sri Lanka.
Application Deadline 1 December 2010
