APPLICATION PERIOD: APRIL 1 TO MAY 1, 2022

The UCLA International Institute announces the International Dissertation Fieldwork Fellowship open to UCLA advanced doctoral students in good standing whose research focuses on one or more aspects of international or regional studies.

These awards are targeted for research abroad. Applicants must have completed all coursework for the Ph.D. degree and must be advanced to candidacy prior to undertaking field research. Applicants of all nationalities are eligible to apply; there are no citizenship restrictions.

International Institute Fieldwork Fellowship funds are limited and are thereby intended to be used as a supplement to other funding sources. Therefore, the Committee will only consider requests to cover travel to and from fieldwork sites — airfare and any necessary ground transportation only. Award amounts will vary according to the project and proposed budget and not exceed $5,000 each, with precise award amounts to be determined by the Fellowship Selection Committee.

Applicants’ dissertation research topics must have theoretical or comparative significance and may include one or more regional foci.

Duplicate awards for the same fieldwork travel activities are not permitted. If selected for the award, students must notify the Internaitonal Institute if a duplicate sources becomes available.
