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 research, sharpen scholarly arguments, and foster lasting academic partnerships by immersing scholars in new intellectual environments. Funding can be used for accessing unique datasets or archival materials, direct collaboration with mentors or partners, developing research partnerships, or contributing to ongoing projects that align with the applicant’s research agenda. Scholars retain full independence over the design, analysis, and publication of their research.
