Funding: Dissertation Proposal Development Fellowship Program (DPDF)

The Graduate Center has recently partnered with the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) to provide up to eight Dissertation Proposal Development Fellowships to GC students in the social sciences and the humanities.

Application deadline: October 15th, 2015

Application Workshop:
Professor Duncan Faherty (English, Director of the Early Research Initiative) will be leading a workshop with SSRC staff for prospective student fellowship applicants on September 11, 2015, from 11:00-12:00 in the President’s Conference Room (8201.02). If you would like to attend the workshop, email gcarchivalgrants [at] gmail [dot] com to RSVP by September 8, 2015.

From the Provost:

The DPDF Program is an interdisciplinary training program that helps early-stage doctoral students formulate their dissertation research proposals for external funding agencies.  The DPDF provides students with up to $5,000 for pre-dissertation exploratory summer research, preceded and followed by intensive multi-day workshops where students participate in proposal critique and writing sessions.  In the workshops, fellows work with faculty mentors and students from other disciplines and institutions, so as to introduce them to theories, literatures, methods, and intellectual traditions of disciplines outside of their own.

GC DPDF fellows will receive additional mentoring and support through workshops and training sessions at the GC. Additionally, 2016 GC DPDF fellows will have to demonstrate by February of 2017 that they have applied for at least one additional external fellowship award to support their dissertation research.  More information about the program and eligibility can be found through the links below.

Funding: Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Program

The Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Program is now accepting applications for funding for research conducted abroad for modern foreign language and area studies. Applications must first be sent to the Office of Student Affairs before they are sent from there to the Department of Education. The internal deadline for applications is Wednesday, April 22nd, 2015.

 

The below information about the program and the application process is provided by the GC’s Office of Student Affairs

The Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Program (DDRA) funds individual dissertation level doctoral students to conduct research in modern foreign languages and area studies for periods of 6 to 12 months. This program is sponsored by the U. S. Department of Education (ED) and is not related to the IIE Fulbright program, which is run by the State Department. The Fulbright-Hays DDRA Program is for students who intend to conduct dissertation research outside of the United States, excluding the countries of Western Europe, and is of particular interest to (but not limited to) students in the social sciences.

The ED published the application for the FY 2015 Fulbright-Hays competition on February 27, and its application is available on the ED website via the following URL: http://www2.ed.gov/programs/iegpsddrap/applicant.html

Please note that because Fulbright-Hays awards are granted to students through their educational institutions, all applications must be vetted by the Graduate Center’s Student Affairs office prior to being submitted electronically to the Department of Education.

Prior to 2010, the Fulbright-Hays awards were announced in the fall, and six to eight weeks ahead of the application deadline. In recent years, however, the process has become less predictable. Given the timing and duration of the current application period, the Graduate Center’s internal deadline will be Wednesday, April 22, 2015, in order to allow for proper review and vetting of applications prior to the ED’s transmittal deadline of Tuesday, April 28, 2015. No extensions to this deadline will be possible.

If you have any questions about or are interested in beginning the application process, kindly contact institutional application liaison Cori L. Gabbard by email ([email protected]), in the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. Please do not contact U. S. Department of Education personnel directly.
