FELLOWSHIP PROJECT SCOPE
For both the Research Fellowship and Dissertation Completion Fellowship:
- The dissertation topic must be in 19th-early 21st century Russian historical studies; in cases of equally qualified applications, some preference may be given to research on the Soviet era
- The dissertation topic can be in cultural, economic, intellectual, political, or social historical studies
- The geographic focus of the dissertation must be predominantly within the current boundaries of the Russian Federation. NOTE: This does not exclude research related to other former Soviet Republics or territories of the 19th c. Russian Empire, but the research topic must still be predominantly a historical study of Russia
For the Research Fellowship only:
- For 2023-2024, due to the difficulty of conducting research in Russia, applicants may propose to conduct research at locations that are most beneficial for their research topic, including within the United States. However, preference will be given for archival research in Eastern Europe and/or Eurasia.
- [This does not apply in 2023-2024 – The research must be conducted primarily in the Russian Federation, but the fellowship may be used to conduct research for a briefer period in secondary site(s) in one other former Soviet republic or territory once forming part of the Russian empire (NOTE: The fellowship does not support research in North America).]
- One Research Fellowship is designated for women’s and gender studies
