The CAORC Multi-Country Research Fellowship Program supports advanced regional or trans-regional research in the humanities, social sciences, or allied natural sciences for U.S. doctoral candidates and scholars who have already earned their PhD.
Preference will be given to candidates examining comparative and/or cross- regional research. Applicants are eligible to apply as individuals or in teams.
