The Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC) is currently accepting applications for The Multi-Country Research Fellowship! Now in its 28th year, the fellowship enables US scholars to carry out trans-regional and comparative research in countries across the network of Overseas Research Centers (ORCs), as well as other countries.

The Multi-Country Research Fellowship supports advanced research in the humanities, social sciences, and allied natural sciences for US doctoral candidates, who are 'all but dissertation', and scholars who have earned their PhD. Scholars must carry out research in two or more countries outside the US, at least one of which must host a participating ORC. Approximately nine awards of $11,500 will be granted.

In Southeast Asia, AIFIS is the Overseas Research Center for Indonesia, the Inya Institute is for Myanmar, and the Center for Khmer Studies is for Cambodia and the Mekong Region.

Each year the highest ranking Multi-Country Fellowship applicant will receive an additional $1,000 toward travel expenses through the Mary Ellen Lane Multi-Country Travel Award. The award is named after CAORC's founding director, Dr. Mary Ellen Lane.

Minority scholars and scholars from Minority Serving Institutions are encouraged to apply.

Deadline: November 16, 2021.
