Canadian researchers in the humanities and social sciences might be interested in learning that the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the US Social Science Research Council (SSRC) are making available again this year fellowships for U.S. and Canadian scholars to visit and engage in collaborative activities with members of ESRC-supported projects in Britain, or for British scholars at ESRC-supported projects to visit collaborators in the Americas. This year 18 research fellowships of up to £5000 (app. $10,000) will be awarded. More details can be obtained here: http://www.ssrc.org/fellowships/esrc/.
Please note that this information is passed on to you on behalf of the SSRC and ESRC and that SSHRC is not a funding partner in this initiative.
Deadline for application is April 4, 2008.
Sincerely,
Christian Sylvain
