The Collaborative Research Grants in the Humanities program provides support of up to $50,400 for U.S. scholars conducting humanities research in any country of Eurasia and Eastern Europe. (See list of eligible countries below.) This is a program of American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS in cooperation with The National Council for Eurasian and East European Research (NCEEER) supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Countries Eligible for Research:

*Albania*Lithuania

A wide range of humanities topics are eligible for support (see below); however, all projects must involve at least one collaborator from the region and field-based research in the region itself. In addition, applicants must hold a Ph.D. or other terminal degree and have a working knowledge of one or more of the languages of East-Central Europe or Eurasia, or be able to demonstrate that such language proficiency is not critical for the successful completion of their particular projects. Applications with a strong regional focus and the potential to strengthen academic linkages beyond the traditional centers are particularly encouraged.

American Councils administers fellowships involving the countries of Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Ukraine.

NCEEER administers fellowships involving the countries of Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
