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 goal is to accelerate dissertation progress, foster scholarly collaboration, access unique resources, and build lasting academic relationships. Scholars retain full independence over their research design, analysis, and publication outcomes.
