better understand the region and formulate effective policies within
it. All applicants should clearly describe the policy-relevance of
their work, be it in anthropology, history, international relations,
political science, or some other field.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. All
competitions for funding are open and merit based. All applications
will receive consideration without regard to any non-merit factors
such as race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national
origin, marital status, age (with authorized exceptions), political
affiliation, or disability. Funding for this program is made available
by the U.S. Department of State's Program for the Study of Eastern
Europe and Independent States of the Former Soviet Union (Title VIII).
