Description
The Palestinian American Research Center (PARC) supports research that contributes to Palestinian Studies through its 27th U.S. research fellowship competition. The program funds individual and joint field research in Palestine, Israel, Jordan, or Lebanon. Eligible fields include the arts, humanities, social sciences, economics, law, public health, and applied sciences; purely scientific research is excluded.
The fellowship prioritizes significant, under-researched, and original topics, including projects that bring a new perspective to an existing subject. Proposals are assessed for their contribution to both the applicant’s field and Palestinian Studies, alongside methodological appropriateness, feasibility, researcher qualifications, service component quality, and budget reasonableness.
