The Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale announces the availability of dissertation research fellowships to support Ph.D. students who will be engaged in international research on their doctoral dissertations during the summer and/or the academic year. Proposals will be accepted from registered Ph.D. students who have completed all pre-dissertation requirements before the planned travel.
To accommodate these unprecedented circumstances, The MacMillan Center has also relaxed the restrictions on how the fellowship funds can be used. Students will be allowed to use funds to pay for survey firms’ contracts (up to $5,000), data sets, data entry, books and journal subscriptions, fees associated with online access to archives and libraries, and fees for digitizing documents. The student’s advisor has confirmed that these resources are absolutely necessary for the research. All surveys have to receive IRB approval before they can be carried out. Students paying survey companies, translating agencies, etc., must submit quotes in time of application and produce receipts upon completion of the project.
These requests will be approved on the case-by-case basis, and must be verified with Anja Koirala / Julia Muravnik before they are incurred.
Copy of approved dissertation prospectus; NOTE: Students whose prospectus has not been approved but will be approved before the start date are allowed to apply. (If prospectus is not yet submitted, please upload a most recent version of it). Keep in mind that in this case the award will be finalized only after the prospectus is approved.
