Call for Applications: 2023-2024 Cultivating the Humanities and Social Sciences Research Grants

The Association for Asian Studies is now accepting applications for its 2023-2024 Cultivating the Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS) Research Grants .

The Cultivating the Humanities and Social Sciences Research Grants are made possible thanks to the generous support of Sweden. This grant program is part of a collaborative transnational project that aims at enhancing the research capabilities of scholars and local institutions, especially in post-conflict and conflict areas, while helping to reduce the social and economic vulnerabilities of South and Southeast Asian countries through policy-relevant research.

The project focuses on junior faculty, graduate students, senior and independent scholars, women, and ethnic minority groups in particular. Cultivating the Humanities and Social Sciences Research Grants are available for short- (up to 2 months), medium- (2-6 months), and long-term (12 months) research projects that advance the fields of the humanities and social sciences in South and Southeast Asia.

The Association for Asian Studies invites applications from low- and lower middle-income countries of Southeast Asia (e.g., Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam) as well as from less economically advantaged countries and areas of South Asia  (e.g., Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and India). When evaluating proposals from Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and India, the review committee will prioritize applicants who come from regions and/or institutions with resource and infrastructure constraints. Applications from the Maldives will also be considered.

We also encourage collaborative projects, especially those that partner scholars from under-resourced institutions with colleagues at institutions that offer more resources and infrastructure to support their work.

Recipients of CHSS grants will be invited to submit a panel proposal at an AAS-in-Asia conference, where they will have the opportunity to share the results of their research projects, participate in skill-building workshops, and discuss publishing prospects with our partners based in Asia, Europe, and the U.S.

Who Is Eligible?

• Graduate students (both MA and Ph.D.), junior scholars, and senior scholars are eligible and welcome to apply.
• Under-represented constituents of the transnational Asian Studies community, or those from or living in post-conflict areas or in areas where conflicts are ongoing.
• People living in low and lower-middle income areas of South and Southeast Asia.
• Masters’ students who may not be able to continue on a Ph.D. track due to circumstances beyond their control are also encouraged to apply.
• AAS membership is not a requirement.

Program Overview

The CHSS grant program encourages both individual and group projects (such as those bringing senior and junior scholars together) that will explore the subjects of i) development, ii) democracy, iii) human rights, iv) gender, v) the environment, and vi) forest conservation in the Philippines (see below). These themes may be researched on their own, or in combination with one another, or in ways that cut across the humanities and social sciences. Preference will be given to applicants who have never received a research grant in the past and/or who are based in an under-resourced institution.

The program also welcomes proposals for special initiatives aim at the recording, preservation, and dissemination of endangered languages, oral histories, and traditional knowledge.

The Forest Foundation Philippines is a non-profit organization that provides grants and technical assistance to organizations and individuals that empower the people to protect the forests. A special funding through its small grants program will be made available by the Forest Foundation Philippines to Filipino scholars with projects related to forest conservation and restoration, forest communities and sustainable livelihoods, indigenous knowledge systems, forest policy and governance, (counter)mapping forest landscapes, and other approaches that foster knowledge co-creation and transdisciplinary knowledge-making in any discipline of humanities and social sciences. Under-represented scholars, including indigenous scholars, women, and early-career researchers, especially from Palawan, Sierra Madre, Samar and Leyte, and Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental, are invited to apply. For more information about the programs of the Forest Foundation Philippines, visit their website at www.forestfoundation.ph .  

CHSS grants typically range from $2,000 for a short-term project to $12,000 for long-term.

The grants will be awarded with the understanding that within two years of completion of their project, the recipients will present the results of their research at an AAS-in-Asia conference, or a similar international conference, with acknowledgement of the award. Any publication based on the funded research should also acknowledge the AAS-Sweden Cultivating the Humanities and Social Sciences Research Grants or the Forest Foundation Philippines.

ICSSR’s call: Research proposal on 31 govt schemes sought

While the call by the autonomous body has been given ahead of the 2024 general elections, officials at the council said it has no political angle.

The Indian Council of Social Science Research has given a special call for short term research proposals to assess the reach and socioeconomic impact of 31 government schemes, including Ujjwala Yojana, Awas Yojana, Ayushman Bharat, New Education Policy, Mudra Yojana and Start up India, among others.

While the call by the autonomous body under the education ministry has been given ahead of the 2024 general elections, officials at the council said it has no political angle to it. The idea is to independently assess the impact of various government schemes and to understand the bottlenecks being seen in their implementation at the ground level, said social scientist JK Bajaj, chairperson of the council.

“Take for instance the Ujjawala scheme. It will be important to assess how it has impacted the life of women. What is the continuity of the usage cylinders distributed under the scheme and if there are any bottlenecks. Similarly, in the Mudra scheme of financial inclusion, we have some government data, but it would be interesting to actually go to the ground and assess its impact on entrepreneurs,” Bajaj said. “Who are the new entrepreneurs coming and from which community they are coming from?”

“How will we get this information if the social scientists will not work on it? It has nothing to do with the upcoming elections,” he added.

Prior to this, the council had given two special calls for short term research on social science dimensions of the Covid-19 pandemic, and culture, history and geography of scheduled tribes.

Under this new project, the council is aiming to select 300 proposals covering different schemes and geographical areas. “We are trying to get the widest possible coverage. We want to understand the impact of the same scheme in different geographical areas as well. Therefore, we are encouraging institutions to come together and work collaboratively on projects instead of researchers working individually. This way it will help us to have a broader coverage,” Bajaj said.

Each selected project will be funded up to ₹ 6 lakh. For collaborative projects, the funding is fixed at up to ₹ 30 lakh. The sanctioned amount will be released in two instalments, and the selected individuals or groups will get six months to complete the work and submit their reports.

Among the other schemes mentioned in the call for proposals are Jan Dhan Yojana, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Stand-Up India, Digital India, PM Krishi Sinchai Yojana and PM Fasal Bima Yojana, among others.

Research scholars from recognised institutions, civil servants, officers from defence services and other professionals with social science perspective having not less than 20 years of regular service will be eligible to apply, according to guidelines issued by the council. “A rigorous assessment of the reach and socioeconomic impact of the specific scheme and policy initiative is expected to be carried out,” the guidelines said. “These studies will be based on field work focused on a specific geographical region, which may be an urban, semi-urban or rural area.”

The sample size for each study will be 400 to 500 and 2,000 to 3,000 for collaborative studies. “The researchers are encouraged to undertake quantitative as well as qualitative research of a scheme in the selected geographical region,” the guidelines stated.

Once completed, the reports will be made available publicly, Bajaj said. “We will not try to make recommendations or become a part of the policymaking process. We want to record reality and the reality will then speak for itself,” he said.

College and University Fund for the Social Sciences New Interdisciplinary Projects in the Social Sciences

New Interdisciplinary Projects in the Social Sciences

An Invitation to College and University Fund for the Social Sciences

The spaces between fields—or the “borderlands” between disciplines—represent unique opportunities for social inquiry.  Scholarly Borderlands,  an initiative of the Social Science Research Council (SSRC), invites proposals for interdisciplinary working groups that ask novel questions, develop new frameworks, rethink methodological approaches, and find innovative answers. Scholarly Borderlands incubates high-risk, high-rewards research efforts.  Recent projects include  Pandemics and Migrant Precarity and the Dreaming Indigenous Futures Working Group.

Convening researchers of different backgrounds, disciplines, and institutions, the  New Interdisciplinary Projects in the Social Sciences  initiative acts as a catalyst for dialogue and collaboration that produces creative scholarship and builds fresh ties within the social sciences, while connecting them more robustly to work in the natural sciences and humanities.  New Interdisciplinary Projects in the Social Sciences  working groups may be composed of any cross-disciplinary arrangement of social scientists and other researchers. Projects may address any new or enduring scholarly question, debate, or issue.

This call will provide two years of funding for one to two working groups between 2021 and 2023. A maximum award of $50,000 will be provided to each working group toward direct costs associated with project-related meetings and similar activities, such as travel, accommodations, meals, or research assistance. Funds may not be used for release time for participants. Matching funds provided by the sponsoring colleges or universities are not required, but applications including a commitment to match resources in some manner will be viewed favorably. SSRC staff will be available for consultations regarding project implementation.

Eligibility

This  New Interdisciplinary Projects in the Social Sciences  RFP is open exclusively to faculty of the  College and University Fund for the Social Sciences (CUF) member institutions . Proposed projects must be led by a principal investigator (PI) from a CUF institution in collaboration with one or two additional co-PIs. Working group leadership should represent at least two different disciplines, and preference will be given to teams with leadership from different institutions. Participants in the project (apart from the PI) may be from any institution, and the SSRC strongly encourages collaborations that include faculty from minority-serving institutions. A proposed project may be housed within any appropriate institutional entity of the sponsoring college or university (e.g., graduate school, research center).

How to Apply

The deadline for applications is Monday, September 13, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. eastern time.  Please visit  apply.ssrc.org  to access the application portal. 

Applicants should prepare a PDF document formatted as follows, single-spaced with a font between 10 and 12 points:

• Project Description (two pages): Please address the significance of the project and general goals for the grant period, making clear the transformative potential of the funding for the long-term impact of the project as well as the rationale behind the proposed group of participants
• Works Cited (one page)
• Budget (one page): A budget outline of proposed expenses for the two-year period, noting any matching funds or resources provided by the host or partnering institutions
• Timeframe (one page): Please outline a timeline for activities no more than 24 months from when funds become available

Participants will also be asked to provide the following within the application portal:

• 250-word bio-sketches of the PI and co-PIs
• A list of likely participants, noting disciplinary or other relevant expertise

Additional Information

Selection Criteria

Criteria for selection, apart from the usual standards of rigorous academic inquiry, will emphasize the innovative groupings of scholars and approaches proposed, including demonstration projects that pursue the application of new methodologies or analytical frameworks or that combine existing approaches in novel ways. Applicants should demonstrate knowledge of the field(s) and the project’s potential to meet specific needs or attain goals within that/those field(s). If similar projects have been conducted in the past or are currently underway, applicants should discuss how the proposed project differs from them, and possibilities for engaging these other researchers.

Each project will be evaluated based on its strength in four key areas: contribution to the social sciences, networks and participants, project design, and potential contribution to social science in the public interest.

Selection Process

Applications will be reviewed by an interdisciplinary committee of scholars convened by the SSRC whose work represents the type of border-crossing approaches we are supporting through this program. 

Graduate Student Participation

We welcome graduate student and postdoc involvement in the proposed activities, and modest budget allocations for research assistance are permitted. Funds are not intended to cover salary expenses for any project participants.

Expected Outputs

While we anticipate that all sponsored projects will produce scholarly journal articles and other publications, these need not be the sole projected products of these collaborations. We are especially interested in projects that broaden reach or impact, such as (but not limited to) the establishment of new pedagogical resources, methodological toolkits for approaching complex research questions, or more public-facing publications and reports. Working group members may also be invited to contribute to the SSRC blog  Items .

Funds will be available for a two-year period for grant activities beginning on or after January 2022. Payment will be made in two installments, with the second installment paid following the receipt of an interim report after one year. A final report will be due two months following the conclusion of the grant period.

Please contact Scholarly Borderlands program staff at  [email protected]  for further guidance in preparing your application.

The New Interdisciplinary Projects in the Social Sciences initiative is made possible through funding from the Rockefeller Foundation, the SAGE Fund for Research Methods, and the College & University Fund for the Social Sciences.
