CfP: Central Asia, Caucasus and Balkans Research Competition

The University of Delaware invites proposals for a national research competition entitled “Institutional Transition and Regional Linkages in Emerging Market Economies and Polities.” Research proposals should focus on the economic, political and business implications of the continuing transition to a free-market economy in one or more of these countries: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kirgiz Republic, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan or Uzbekistan. It is expected that more grants will be made for research in Central Asia than for the other regions. This competition provides funds for both collaborative and individual research projects. The primary scholar in an individual or collaborative project MUST be a US citizen or green card holder, and hold a PhD or be full-time graduate students at the ABD level. More information including guidelines for submission of research proposals is available on our website. Application Deadline: December 6, 2009.
