Description
This program provides funding for PhD students and postdoctoral fellows to undertake short-term research residencies—typically lasting from one week to one month—at universities, academic centers, or research organizations other than their home institution. The aim is to accelerate dissertation progress, develop scholarly arguments, and foster valuable academic relationships by immersing scholars in new intellectual environments. Funding can be used for activities such as accessing unique datasets or archives, collaborating directly with mentors or potential partners, developing ongoing research partnerships, or joining scholarly projects that align with the applicant’s research agenda. Awarded scholars retain full independence over their research design, analysis, and publication.
