TThe Center will offer full-year dissertation completion grants for the 2010–2011 academic year to Weatherhead Center Graduate Student Associates who will be in the final year of completing their dissertations. These interests are broadly defined to include research on international, transnational, and comparative topics (both contemporary and historical), including rigorous policy analysis as well as the study of countries and regions other than the United States. The Center will continue to award our dissertation completion grant named after Sidney R. Knafel, who served as chair of the Center’s Visiting Committee from 1991 to 2000. We are delighted that we are able to offer additional Fellowships, thanks to gifts from the Weatherhead Foundation and the Hartley R. Rogers family.

Award and Benefits

The fellowships carry with them a stipend of $22,330 plus facilities fees and individual health insurance. The dissertation fellows will be provided with shared office space with computers at the Weatherhead Center.

Who is Eligible?

Current Weatherhead Center Graduate Student Associates who will complete their degree by the end of 2011. The selection committee is likely to require that at least one dissertation chapter be completed prior to applying for the completion grant.

Terms

Dissertation completion grant recipients must be in residence at Harvard and may not accept any other grants or teaching fellowships during the tenure of their fellowships.
