American Institute of Pakistan Studies (AIPS) Senior and Junior Research Fellowships
AIPS is excited to offer Senior and Junior Research Fellowships! Funding for fellowships for US citizens is provided by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State through a grant from the Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC). When available, funding for fellowships for non-US citizens is provided by AIPS unrestricted funds. All applications will undergo a competitive review. The review committee may prioritize applicants who have not received an AIPS fellowship in the past two years.
2 – 9 months
The amount of the ECA-funded stipends will be determined by the Fellowships Committee based on availability of funds not to exceed current rates as defined by the US State Department. Please be aware that there are limited funds for research proposals for Non-US Citizens.
For ALL Fellowship applications:
• Fellow must be an AIPS individual member in good standing at the time of application and throughout the tenure of this grant
