The Institute promotes the activities of these four major research centers whose goals are to advance knowledge about these ethnic groups. The acceptance of a fellowship carries with it the commitment to make a contribution to the research activities of the sponsoring ethnic studies center. Teaching responsibilities vary across the centers. Please consult the appropriate center for specific details.
Fellowships are normally for the academic year.
However, fellowships can be awarded for less than a year, in which case the stipend is adjusted to the length of the award, and can be used to supplement sabbatical salaries.
