We provide support for full East Asian Studies Center faculty members.
We currently offer the following funding opportunites for full faculty members:
We are very pleased to announce that the East Asian Studies Center is once again accepting applications from full members for its conference/research travel award competition.
- Priority is given to faculty members who are conducting field research or are involved in a scholarly conference, as well as faculty who do not have funds in the form of research accounts etc (please indicate this on the application form).
- Applying for these and other travel funds strengthens the EASC Conference Travel Award application.
- The maximum award amount is up to $1,000, depending on number of applications.
- We will also consider applications for travel that occurred prior to the deadline in the Fall of 2023. Thus, people who have already attended an early-semester conference will still be eligible for support. The best way to proceed is to forward your flight information and conference schedule ASAP once you know that you will receive the funding, then we will communicate with the Department of Education to resolve this issue.
Please note that due to Title VI funding regulations there are some restrictions on the use of an EASC conference travel award for international travel. International travel can be covered but must be approved 6 weeks in advance of the departure date and most likely will require travel on U.S.-owned carriers in order to comply with the Fly America Act (there are some exceptions that involve transfers between carriers at international locations). If planning an overseas trip, please contact Laura Judson at least 6 weeks before the departure date or at your earliest convenience.
Please note that these awards are available only to full EASC members.
Application Deadline:
- EXTENDED TO: Monday, September 25, 2023
Application materials include:
- One-page abstract of your paper or field research (in English)
- Notice of acceptance or copy of the conference program (not required for field research)
** All materials to be uploaded via the Application form. **
