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 for approximately $20,000 each. The IDRF program is committed to empirical and site-specific research that advances knowledge about non-U.S. cultures and societies. 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. The 2009 IDRF fellowship must be held for a single continuous period within the eighteen months between July 2009 and December 2010.
Due November 5, 2008.
