You are invited to participate in a new proposal development program at UC Santa Barbara with the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) to help craft your submission for the International Dissertation Research Fellowship (IDRF) program.
The SSRC
has chosen ten minority serving institutions (MSIs) to participate. The
program includes:
- A webinar series hosted by SSRC program officers to provide proposal
development assistance (dates TBD).
- Mentoring, consultation, and individualized proposal review with Dr.
Barbara Endemaño Walker, Director of Research Development in the UCSB
Office of Research.
Eligibility for the SSRC IDRF Program
- The IDRF program is open to graduate students in the humanities and
social sciences—regardless of citizenship—enrolled in PhD programs in the
United States.
- Applicants to the 2021 IDRF competition must complete all PhD
requirements except on-site research by the time the fellowship begins or
by December 2021, whichever comes first. The IDRF supports research only
and may not be used for dissertation write-up.
- The program invites proposals for dissertation research conducted,
in whole or in part, outside the United States, on non-US
topics. Proposals that address Native American studies are eligible.
- The IDRF supports between 6-12 months of research.
To participate in the IDRF Proposal Development Program, enroll here
before Friday, August 21. If you have any questions about the program, please
contact Dr. Barbara Endemaño Walker, Director of Research Development in the UCSB Office of Research.
