Regional Scholar Exchange Program 
    
Open Competition for Fellowships in the USA
    
The Government of the United States of America announces an open competition
for fellowships in the United States through the United States Information
Agency Regional Scholar Exchange Program.  The Regional Scholar Exchange
Program is developed, funded and supervised by the United States Information
Agency with funds allocated by the Congress of the United States, and
administered by the International Research & Exchanges Board (IREX) and the
Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies. 
    
The Regional Scholar Exchange Program selects highly qualified university
faculty and scholars at the early stages of their careers, advanced graduate
students pursuing dissertation research, and mid-level faculty (associate
professors) in designated fields of the social sciences and humanities who
are citizens of the New Independent States and are residing in their home
country at the time of application and interview for fellowships at
institutions in the United States.  All applicants  must demonstrate a long-
term
commitment to the field of higher education and scholarship in their home
countries in the social sciences and humanities and either possess or be
working toward a Kandidat or Doctor degree at the time of application. 
Applicants should have published several articles in their field or
presented papers at scholarly conferences and must have had few or no
opportunities to conduct research in the United States. One hundred (100)
Regional Scholar Exchange Program Fellowships will be awarded.  IREX and the
Kennan Institute will determine the appropriate length of all fellowships.  
    
The application deadline for the Regional Scholar Exchange Program is
October 31, 1997.  Successful applicants will begin their fellowships in the
United States in August 1998.
