AAS CIAC Small Grants
The China and Inner Asia Council of the AAS is soliciting applications
for awards of up to $1500 for projects in various categories. AAS members
with special interests in China or Inner Asia are invited to submit proposals for
funding.
Applications are specifically encouraged in these areas:
- Curriculum development at the college and secondary level
- Conferences and seminars- including the organization of small conferences and seminars away from major centers of Chinese studies, funds to cover the travel expenses or scholars from isolated institutions to speak at major centers or to cover the travel expenses of junior faculty from isolated institutions to attend seminars at major centers, and/or funding for dissertation-level graduate students to attend colloquia, workshops, and seminars related to their fields
- Short research trips within North America and to Taiwan for
dissertation-level graduate students, and for scholars at non-research
institutions, to travel to major libraries and collections in North America
and Taiwan.
- Specialist or regional newsletters disseminating important
information to their respective fields
- Translations of scholarly books and articles
- Collaborative projects in which the grant will facilitate
communication and limited travel by scholars working on a common project in
Taiwan and North America
Book subventions and publication costs are not eligible at this time for these
grants. Repeat applications for the same project or organization which has
previously been funded will not be accepted.
There is no special application form. Applications should include:
- A 250-word abstract of the project
- A detailed budget of anticipated expenditures, and including other
sources of funding. Requests for travel grants must specify the extent of
funding available from the home institution
- A curriculum vitae of the director and principal participants
Applications and questions should be sent to Joshua Fogel at the address above. Submission of applications by e-mail is encouraged.
Deadline for receipt of application materials is February 10, 1998.
