The Multi-Country Research Fellowship enables US scholars to carry out transnational research in countries across the network of American Overseas Research Centers as well as other countries. The 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 or a terminal degree. Applicants are eligible to apply as individuals or as teams. Scholars must carry out research in two or more countries outside the US, at least one of which must host a participating Overseas Research Center. Each award is $12,600. Funding is provided by the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
The annual deadline is normally in December. The application portal is expected to open in August 2025.
