Term: Academic Year, Spring, Summer, Fall

Supports short-term field research in Mongolia

The American Center for Mongolian Studies (ACMS), with funding support from the US State Department Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau and the Council of American Overseas Research Centers, supports short-term student, post-doctoral, or faculty field research in Mongolia in the summer or semester. The program will provide awards of up to $4,000 to approximately 4-8 students, post-docs, or faculty.

The program seeks to promote research opportunities in Mongolia among scholars who have not included the country in their previous research, and to broaden the knowledge base of scholars already working in the country. Previous Mongolian Studies experience is not required, but projects should enhance knowledge of Mongolia and the Mongols within relevant academic disciplines or fields of study. Projects that link research conducted in Mongolia to research in other parts of Asia or across academic fields are especially encouraged.

Eligibility

Applicants must be US citizens currently enrolled full-time (students) or employed at least part-time (post-docs and faculty) at a university or college. Students who have just graduated are eligible for the program. Undergraduate applicants must have at least third year standing in their program, while graduate applicants can be at a masters, pre-dissertation, or doctoral candidacy level.

Joint applications submitted by a student and post-doctoral scholar or faculty member are highly encouraged.
