The fellowships for research in Turkey may be held for four to twelve consecutive months in 2001-2002. Scholars who hold the PhD or who have completed their professional training may apply. The fellowships support research on ancient, medieval, or modern times in Turkey, in any field of the humanities.
Preference is given scholars in the early phases of their academic careers.
Applicants are expected to have an affiliation with educational institutions in the United States or Canada and must be either U.S. citizens or have resided in the U.S. for three years. Advanced scholars may also apply for ARIT Fellowships in the Humanities and Social Sciences . Please refer to application format and cover page appended here. ARIT expects to notify applicants of the decision of the Committee on Fellowships by January 25, 2002. Turkish law requires all foreign scholars to obtain formal permission for any research to be carried out in Turkey prior to entering the country.
