ACLS/ARHC/American Research in Humanities in China

FAIN: RA-50015-04

American Council of Learned Societies Devoted to Humanistic Studies (New York, NY 10017-6706)
Steven C. Wheatley (Project Director: September 2003 to June 2009)

Three humanities fellowships each year for three years.

This proposal seeks $378,000 from the NEH over four years--$198,000 in outright funds and $180,000 to be matched by ACLS for a project total, including ACLS cost sharing, of $748,620, to support the program of American Research in Humanities in China (ARHC). The study of Chinese civilization is one of the most promising of humanistic inquiry, but its scholarly demands are heavy, and its practical difficulties are enormous. ARHC Fellowships provide 4-12 months funding for the research in China, as well as the support of ACLS's subsidiary--the Committee on Scholarly Research with China (CSCC)--in attaining placement at appropriate research institutions and gaining access to materials.
