IREX (International Research and Exchanges Board) has announced their 2004-2005 grant opportunities for U.S. scholars. IREX's scholar programs are funded by the United States Department of State Title VIII Program, the National Endowment for the Humanities, John J. and Nancy Lee Roberts, and IREX's own Scholar Support Fund.

The Caucasus Regional Policy Symposium. Deadline: December 1, 2003. IREX, in collaboration with the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars, will be administering a symposium to bring together senior and junior U.S. scholars to discuss a variety of political, economic, historical, and cultural topics related to the Caucasus and its relationships with neighboring Russia, Turkey, and Iran. Junior scholars will be chosen based on a national competition. Applications must demonstrate a commitment to continued study, research, and work with the countries of the Caucasus region. The symposium is scheduled for Spring 2004 in the Washington, D.C. area.

Short-Term Travel Grants. Deadline: February 1, 2004. Grants of up to $3,000 for up to two months of independent or collaborative research in Europe and Eurasia for postdoctoral scholars and professionals with terminal degrees.

Successful projects must make a substantive contribution to knowledge of the contemporary political, economic, historical, or cultural developments in the region and must demonstrate how such knowledge is relevant to U.S. foreign policy.
