Applications for the Individual Advanced Research Opportunities(IARO) program are now available.

This program provides predoctoral and postdoctoral scholars with fellowships for on-site humanities and policy-relevant research in Eastern Europe and the New Independent States (NIS) for two to nine months. Funding for cross-regional humanities research in Turkey and Iran is also available.

Beginning this year, grants of one to three months are available to master's level students to conduct significant research on policy- relevant topics in Eastern Europe and the NIS. This program is funded by the United States Department of State (Title VIII Program), the National Endowment for the Humanities, and IREX's own Scholar Support Fund.

Applications are available for download on the IREX web site at www.irex.org/programs/iaro/application.htm.

Applications are also available by request from the IREX/Washington office via e-mail at irex@irex.org or phone at (202) 628-8188.
