FELLOWSHIPS AND RESEARCH SUPPORT

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

SUMMER TRAVEL & RESEARCH GRANTS

The Council on East Asian Studies offers grants to support Yale University graduate student summer field research or other forms of pre-dissertation preparation in East Asia (China, Japan and Korea). Grants generally range from $1,500 to $8,000 and can be applied to travel, room and board, and other legitimate research expenses.

All students enrolled in M.A. and Ph.D. programs in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Yale University are eligible to apply. Applications from graduate students from the Yale professional schools will also be considered.

Priority will be given to students with demonstrated long-term academic commitment to East Asia, or those who need first-hand exposure to Asia to complete a course of academic study.

Recipients of a CEAS Summer Travel Research Grant must submit a project report of no less than three pages in English upon completion of their project and a summary of the report in the relevant foreign language (Chinese, Japanese, or Korean). 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 Summer Travel 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
