CSEAS Field Research Grants (AY 22-23)
Deadline: February 14, 2022
CSEAS will offer a limited number of field research grants (up to $7000) for pre-dissertation, dissertation, and thesis research on Southeast Asia. These awards are not intended to cover the full cost of dissertation research but are aimed at providing funds: 1) to conduct pre-dissertation research aimed at enhancing major research proposals (Fulbright, SSRC, NSEP, etc) for dissertation projects; and 2) to facilitate or supplement field research for dissertation projects themselves. Field research awards cannot be held concurrently with Center or FLAS fellowships or with major external grants.
Who is Eligible: Applicants must be graduate students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with at least one year of graduate work completed. Pre-dissertators must have a letter from their departmental advisor clarifying that the field research is directly related to the intended dissertation (or thesis) topic and that it is aimed at strengthening the dissertation proposal and future applications for major dissertation research grants. Those applying for dissertation research must be dissertators by the time the field research begins. For more information and to apply online, click here.
