內容簡介:
The School of History, Philosophy and Religion, Oregon State University, is excited to announce the Chiu scholarly exchange program for the 2014-5 academic year. Based on the generous support from the Chun and Jane Chiu Family Foundation, the program encourages transnational and comparative research concerning Taiwan. It awards travel grants to Taiwan-based scholars who plan short-term research trips to the U.S., and U.S.-based scholars who plan short-term research trips to Taiwan.
We will support each grantee with a travel grant not to exceed $7000. The scholarship can be used in conjunction with other awards. Individuals should submit their proposals to the Chiu Scholarly Exchange Program for Taiwan Studies committee.* Proposals should be submitted electronically (to hip@oregonstate.edu) no later than August 8, 2014.
Guidelines**
1. A grantee must hold a doctoral degree or be a Ph.D. candidate.
2. Any funded Taiwan-based scholar should be a Taiwan studies specialist. U.S.-based grantees should undertake Taiwan-focused research, or projects that include Taiwan as an important dimension, and show promise of making crucial contributions to Taiwan Studies in the future.
3. The travel grant must be used before September 15, 2015. This grant should be used for research trips during the summer or at other periods of the year, as preferred by the grantee.
4. Since each award will not exceed $7000, the grantee is encouraged to apply for support from other funding agencies.
5. It is expected that a grantee’s stay in the U.S./Taiwan will be 20-45 days in length. Grantees might lengthen their stay with supplemental support from other sources.
6. To apply for this grant, applicants must fill out (in full) the program’s application form. They should list the libraries / archives / institutions they plan to visit, the length of their stay in the U.S. / Taiwan, as well as estimated airfare, and projected daily expenses (hotel and per diem).*** In addition, applicants must submit a copy of their CV, and a statement summarizing the proposed research and briefly describing the importance (to their research) of the archives or library materials to be examined. This statement should not exceed three pages (double-spaced, Times New Roman, font size 12).
7. Grantees should inform the Chiu Scholarly Exchange Program of any important changes (i.e.. destinations) in their travel plans.
8. After the research has been completed, the grantee must submit to the School of History, Philosophy, and Religion, Oregon State University a written report (not to exceed 900 words) that summarizes the research trip. The report should be submitted electronically to hip@oregonstate.edu. In addition, in all publications that make use of the research materials gathered by this trip, grantees should acknowledge the funding of the Chun and Jane Chiu Family Foundation.
