Applicants must hold U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status by the application deadline date. The Research Program supports up to 10 individuals in the social sciences or humanities with the Ph.D. or equivalent to do in-depth research on China or the Chinese portion of a comparative study. Grants are offered for 4-12 months of research in China. Applicants must hold both U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status, and a Ph.D. degree by the application deadline date. The program is directed in particular at younger scholars for whom a period of research in the U.S. at this time in their careers would enhance their scholarly potential after returning to China.
Support is provided for living and modest travel expenses for one semester.
