IES & CGES (General) Predissertation Fellowships

Fellowships for short-term (two to three months) predissertation research in Europe during summer/fall  for graduate students working on modern European topics (UC Berkeley students only). Graduate students often find that a first separate visit improves their chances of efficient and successful dissertation research abroad. This permits a network of academic support and contacts to be built up before the major stay. This Predissertation Research Program is designed to provide such opportunities and is not intended to be a supplement or substitute for regular dissertation support. Under normal circumstances, students receiving the grants will be expected to return to their home institution following the grant period for the purpose of defining and/or refining their dissertation project in anticipation of their subsequent dissertation research abroad. The Center is unable to support predissertation projects that are purely literary, philosophical, or theoretical in character. It also cannot support projects in early modern history outside the Central European field or those that deal exclusively with Russian history. Applicants should be in the process of preparing their dissertation proposals, and there should be a gap of at least one semester or two quarters between the completion of their predissertation fellowship and the beginning of their field work abroad.

These fellowships of $3,000 each are expected to cover two or three months' research in Europe.





Application Deadline is February 1.
