RESEARCH SUPPORT

WILSON CE NTER PROGRAM IN WASHINGTON. Short-term grants intended for post­ doctoral level research on topics related to Russia and the Soviet Union are awarded to scholars who have a particular need for the many unique sc holarly resources of the Washington area. Preference is given to younger, junior scholars. The stipend is $40.00 per day for up to one month. There is no separate allowance for either travel or housing. Closing dates for competitions are December 1, March 1, June 1, and September 1. To apply for a short-term grant, please submit a copy of your most recent curriculum vitae, a project proposal, and one letter of recommendation. WILSON CENTER FELLOWSHIPS. An annual international competition (deadline: ·October 1) is held for mature scholars with major projects in any field of the social sciences or humanities having to do with Russia or the USSR. Fel 1 owships are residential and last from one semester to one calendar year. Within limits established by the Board and by its resources, the Center attempts to meet the fellow's earned income of the previous year (not including honoraria, lecture fees, and fringe benefits) . To apply for a fellowship, please obtain application forms and further information from Professor Herbert Ellison, Secretary, Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Smithsonian Institution Building, Washington D. C. 20560.

r· NE H PROGRAM TO SUPPORT TRAVEL TO RESEARCH COLLECT IONS. The National Endowment for the Humanities has established a new Travel to Collections Program to enable Amert can scholars to travel to research collections of libraries, archives, museums, and other repositories in North America and Western Europe. The program provides grants of $500 for consultation of materials essential to a scholar' s research but not readily available near the sc holar's home or regular place of work. Applicants for these grants may be members of college and university faculties as well as other individuals who conduct advanced research in the humanities. Applicants need not be employed by an academic institution to be eligible. The researc h involved cannot be for work leading to an academic degree, and the grants cannot support travel to professional meetings or conferences. Awards wi 11 be made to help defray travel costs, subsistence and lodging, reproduction and photoduplication costs, and certain other associated research expenses. The �rants cannot support salary replacement or released time from the applicant s regular employment. Applications for grants of less than $500 are ineligible due to the disproportionately high administrative costs of processing such proposals. Proposals must be received on or before January 15, 1984 for travel to begin after June 15, 1984. Late or incomplete applications cannot be accepted. For further information, applications, and instructions, please call or write: Program Officer, Travel to Colletions, Div. of Researc h Programs, Room 319-GT, National Endowment for the Humanities, 1100 Avenue, N. W. , Washington D. C. 20506. (202) 786-0207. - 3 -

VOLKSWAGEN FOUNDATION PROGRAM. A grant opportunity that may have escaped the notice of many sc holars working in Eastern Europe is the Volkswagen Foundation1 s program, Research on Contemporary Problems in Eastern Europe. These are avai 1 able to foreign as well as German scholars. In the past, the program has supported projects primarily in contemporary history, political science, sociology and economics in post- 1917 USSR and post-1945 Eastern Europe. But many of the problems which interest American ethnologists - worker migration, interethnic relations, 11modernization11, rural-urban relations, etc. - fit squarely within their scope. For further information, write to Dr. N. Marakrens, Striftung Volkswagenwerk, Postfach 81 05 09, 8000 Hannover 31, West Germany. -Source Newsletter of the East European Anthropology Group Vol. 2, No.2
