THE COUNCIL ON EAST ASIAN STUDIES AT YALE UNIVERSITY (CEAS)

CEAS DISSERTATION RESEARCH GRANTS

The Council on East Asian Studies offers grants to aid Yale University graduate students in the Arts & Sciences who expect to be engaged in research on their doctoral dissertations during the next academic year. Applications will be considered from registered Yale graduate students who have completed, or will complete, all pre-dissertation work before the next academic year.

The approved dissertation research must focus primarily on China, Japan, or Korea. Because grants will, in most instances, be supplementary to support provided from the Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale (MacMillan Center) or outside resources, the usual awards will not exceed $7,000. Students who have applied to other sources of funds (both within Yale and at the national level such as ACLS, SSRC, Japan Foundation, and Monbusho) and have been turned down may be eligible for a maximum grant of $15,000.

Recipients of a CEAS Dissertation Research Grant must submit a project report in English of no less than four pages detailing the student’s progress and a summary of the report in the relevant foreign language (Chinese, Japanese, or Korean). If the project is more than one term, then students are required to submit an interim and final report. Reports must be accompanied by itemized original receipts for expenses covered by the grant. Detailed requirements on reporting are provided in award letters. Accepting a CEAS Dissertation Research Grant obligates one to fulfill these requirements.

ALL APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED ON-LINE THROUGH THE YALE STUDENT GRANTS & FELLOWSHIPS DATABASE (http://studentgrants.yale.edu).

Please read the application instructions carefully. It is the applicant's responsibility to see that a complete application, including letter of recommendation and transcript, is submitted on-line before the deadline on Friday, February 12, 2010. Applications cannot be considered without complete information (i.e., application form; project proposal; timetable of research; budget including information about other possible sources of funding; resume; Yale transcript; and letter of recommendation).

All applicants will be notified of the results of this award competition via email by mid-April 2010.

Yale University policy requires that certain types of research projects involving human subjects be reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to the start of the study to ensure that the project meets University Policy and any other applicable regulations. To see if your project needs to be reviewed, for advice on working with human subjects, and for more information about the IRB process and requirements, please visit the following website: http://www.yale.edu/hsc/Investigator/Student_projects.pdf
