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.
