The Center for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies (CSEEES) at The Ohio State University seeks to support the research of non-Ohio State faculty teaching at a college or university in the state of Ohio whose research and teaching specialization relates to Russia, Eastern Europe, or Eurasia (REE&E). This funding is made possible through CSEEES’ Comprehensive National Resource Center Title VI grant from the International and Foreign Language Education division of the U.S. Department of Education. Up to $750 in research related travel funds are available to defray the costs of conducting research at a library or archive in Ohio or an adjoining state. Funds can be used to cover mileage, per diem, or lodging costs between August 15, 2021 – August 14, 2022 and will be provided as an expense reimbursement.

Application Process: To apply, faculty should submit: a CV; a 400-500 word description of the research project, what resources they need to access and their location, dates and plans for conducting the research, and explanation of how the research will enrich their teaching and REE&E scholarship; and a budget. Applications and questions should be sent to Eileen Kunkler at kunkler.10@osu.edu by July 30, 2021. Decisions will be announced by August 6, 2021.
