The Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies (REEES) at the University of Pittsburgh will award up to two Language Teaching and Learning Research (LTLR) Grants for scholars to conduct research projects on-site or remotely at the Summer Language Institute in June – July 2022. Funded projects must focus on the teaching and learning of one or more of the following priority languages: Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Polish, Russian, Turkish, and Ukrainian. Other languages that are taught at the SLI may be included in a project proposal in addition to these priority languages; see https://sli.pitt.edu for the complete list of language courses offered. 

Applicants may propose to be in residence in Pittsburgh for all or a portion of the two-month duration of the SLI, according to the needs of their projects. However, please note that applicants should be prepared to conduct their projects remotely in the event that pandemic conditions limit in-person instruction, and/or if University of Pittsburgh restrictions on non-essential travel prohibit the use of grant funds to cover travel expenses in Summer 2022.

We would like to remind you of the February 15th deadline for the Vartan Gregorian Research Grants in the IIE Scholar Rescue Fund.

The IIE-SRF Vartan Gregorian Research Grants were launched in honor and memory of Dr. Vartan Gregorian’s lifelong work to promote global peace, expand access to international education, and preserve the lives and work of threatened scholars, as well as his service on the IIE Board of Trustees. Around 4 IIE-SRF partners will be selected to receive grants of up to $25,000 that will help fund original research or other projects that deepen our knowledge of the threats faced by academics in diverse contexts across the globe and/or that explore innovative ideas for supporting these scholars. IIE-SRF welcomes proposals that broadly explore the displacement of academics or attacks on higher education and scholarly inquiry worldwide, including the factors that lead to such attacks or their effects. Relevant issues include those in the context of targeted threats against academia and academics or protracted conflict and higher education emergencies.

Deadline: February 28, 2022
