CfA: Civil Society Scholar Awards (Deadline: 15.02.2016)

The Civil Society Scholar Awards (CSSA) support international academic mobility to enable doctoral students and university faculty to access resources that enrich socially engaged research and critical scholarship in their home country or region. The awards support activities such as fieldwork (data collection); research visits to libraries, archives, or universities; course/curriculum development; and international collaborations leading to peer-reviewed publication. Project duration should be between 2 and 9 months, starting from August 2016. Maximum funding requests should be USD 10.000 for doctoral students and USD 15.000 for faculty members. Civil Society Scholars are selected on the basis of their outstanding contributions to research or other engagement with local communities, to furthering debates on challenging societal questions, and to strengthening critical scholarship and academic networks within their fields.
