> The American Council of Learned Societies, with funding from the Chiang
> Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange, invites
> applications for grants to support collaborative work in China studies
> in the form of conferences, workshops, and planning meetings.
>
> In this cycle of competitions we are soliciting proposals in the
> humanities and related social sciences that adopt an explicitly
> cross-cultural or comparative perspective. We invite submission of
> projects that, for example, compare aspects of Chinese history and
> culture with those of other nations and civilizations, explore the
> interaction of these nations and civilizations, or engage in
> cross-cultural research on the relations among the diverse and shifting
> populations of China. Proposals are expected to be empirically grounded,
> theoretically informed, and methodologically explicit.
>
> The program will support collaborative work of three types:
>
> * Planning Meetings: Grants up to $6,000 will be offered for
> one-day meetings to plan conferences or workshops, or for less
> structured explorations, e.g., brainstorming sessions.
> * Workshops: Grants of $10,000 to $15,000 will be offered for
> workshops designed to promote discussion and the exchange of ideas on
> newly available or inadequately researched data or texts in a collegial,
> seminar-like setting. Workshops are not mini-conferences with the
> presentation of formal papers describing work already done.
> * Conferences: Grants up to $25,000 will be offered for formal
> research conferences intended to produce significant new research that
> will be published in a conference volume.
>
> The program aims to promote interchange among scholars who may not
> otherwise have the opportunity to work together. Accordingly, proposals
> will not be supported for activities of scholars from one institution or
> that fall within an institution's normal range of colloquia, symposia,
> or seminar series. The program will not support regularly scheduled
> meetings, conventions, or parts thereof. Proposals must include at least
> one scholar from Taiwan as a participant.
>
> Eligibility
>
> The principal organizer must be affiliated with a university or research
> institution and must hold a Ph.D. There are no restrictions as to
> citizenship of participants or location of the project; however, it is
> expected the scholars from academic institutions in Taiwan will
> participate in conferences, workshops, and planning meetings.
>
> The deadline for completed applications is September 28, 2011.
>
> Visit http://www.acls.org/programs/cck for program guidelines and
> application information. Decisions will be announced in late December
> 2011.
