Panoramica
The Council of American Overseas Research Center’s Multi-Country Fellowship Program enables scholars from the United States to carry out transnational research in countries across the network of overseas research centers as well as other countries. The fellowship supports advanced research in the humanities, social sciences, and allied natural sciences for US doctoral candidates who are “all but dissertation” and scholars who have earned their PhD or a terminal degree. Applicants are eligible to apply as individuals or as teams. Scholars must carry out research in two or more countries outside the US, at least one of which must host a participating overseas research center. Each award is $12,600. Funding is provided by the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
Each year the highest ranking Multi-Country Fellowship applicant will receive an additional $1,000 toward travel expenses through the Mary Ellen Lane Multi-Country Travel Award. The award is named after CAORC’s founding director, Dr. Mary Ellen Lane.
For more information about the fellowship competition, information on travel, and eligibility, please review the fellowship guidelines. The application deadline is 5:00pm ET on December 5, 2024. Notification of fellowship status will be made available to each applicant via email in mid-March 2025. Fellows are advised that it can take up to six months to obtain necessary research clearances and should plan accordingly.
