ARISC announces the availability of small grants in support of research in the South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia) for students of the South Caucasus who are working towards their doctoral, master’s, or bachelor’s degrees. Projects in all fields in the social sciences, humanities, and related sciences are eligible. The purpose of the grant is to help offset research costs for student scholars in the South Caucasus. Up to three awards will be made for up to $500 each. Proposals will be judged on their quality and on the potential of the research to strengthen scholarship on the South Caucasus. Grantees are expected to give an ARISC-sponsored public presentation on a subject related to their research upon completion of their project. The grantee will acknowledge ARISC in any publication or presentation that emerges from the research carried out during the grant.
