supported projects, description of the awards and application forms and
guidelines are available at www.soros.org/initiatives/hesp
<http://www.soros.org/initiatives/hesp>
CARTI is a regional initiative of the Open Society Institute's
International Higher Education Support Program that promotes the
development of indigenous capacities for original scholarly and
academic work in the humanities and social sciences and
internationalization of scholarship in the broadly defined region of
Central Asia. In working to enhance independent research of
university-based academics, CARTI is committed to innovation in, and
enrichment of, university teaching in the humanities and social
sciences and emphasizes the role of research in the development of
academics as scholars in the classroom. The program provides support to
innovative scholarly work and advanced training and networking
opportunities to motivated young academics in crucial early stages of
their careers in the home academic environment. The program aids these
individuals in becoming conversant with the state-of-the-art
scholarship and within international scholarly discourse in their
subject areas, active scholars applying contemporary research methods
and resources, innovators in teaching making active use of their own
scholarly experience and motivated and prepared to pursue advanced
learning opportunities.
CARTI Junior Fellowships support the individuals in early stages of
their formal Doctoral studies (such as aspirantura) and focus on
development of ideas and skills for high-quality research work. Junior
Fellowships serve as medium for testing and challenging the theories,
methods and assumptions in the core of the individual research
projects, while at the same time guiding and assisting the Fellows in
the first independent large-scale research efforts. Senior Fellowships
are offered to young scholars who have recently received their Doctoral
(e.g. Candidate of Science) degrees. The Fellowships support the
advancement or revision of their research agenda and development of
international research and teaching partnerships with special emphasis
on presentation of scholarly work and translating/incorporating the
outcomes and experience of research into teaching.
CARTI supports active direct collaborative engagement of Fellows with
advanced International Scholars engaged in similar studies and offers a
versatile training program in foundation theories and methodologies of
the disciplines and subject areas of the CARTI-supported projects, as
well as venues for peed feedback, discussion and collaboration on the
regional and international levels.

| NEH Announces Scholarly Edition Grant Competition |
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has announced the annual competition for Scholarly Editions Grants that support the preparation by a team of at least two editors and staff of texts and documents that are currently inaccessible or available in inadequate editions. Projects involving significant literary, philosophical, and historical materials are typical in this grant program, but other types of work, such as musical notation, are also eligible. In applying, applicants will need to demonstrate familiarity with the best practices recommended by the Association for Documentary Editing or the Modern Language Association Committee on Scholarly Editions. This year, there is a new twist on the application process that has caused some consternation within the documentary edition community: in keeping with the goals of the NEH Digital
Humanities Initiative, the Scholarly Editions Program now requires that applicants employ digital technology in the preparation, management, and online publication of all critical and documentary editions. Also projects that include TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) conformant transcription and offer free online access are encouraged and will be given preference.
Guidelines may be found at:

The IDRF program is committed to scholarship that advances knowledge about non-U.S. cultures and societies grounded in empirical and site-specific research (involving fieldwork, research in archival or manuscript collections, or quantitative data collection). The program promotes research that is at once located in a specific discipline and geographical region and is engaged with interdisciplinary and cross-regional perspectives. Applicants must have completed all Ph.D. requirements except on-site dissertation research by the time the fellowship begins or by December 2007, whichever comes first. Fellowships will provide support for nine to twelve months of dissertation research.

| American Philosophical Society |
Since 1933 the American Philosophical Society has awarded small grants to scholars in order to support the cost of research leading to publication in all areas of knowledge. In 2005 the Franklin Research Grants program awarded $303,000 to 70 scholars, and the Society expects to make at least that many awards in this year's competition. The Franklin program is particularly designed to help meet the costs of travel to libraries and archives for research purposes; the purchase of microfilm, photocopies, or equivalent research materials; the costs associated with fieldwork; or laboratory research expenses. Franklin grants are made for noncommercial research. They are not intended to meet the expenses of attending conferences or the costs of publication. The Society does not pay overhead or indirect costs to any institution. Grants will not be made to replace salary during a leave of absence or earnings from summer teaching; pay living expenses while working at home; cover the costs of consultants or research assistants; or purchase permanent equipment such as computers, cameras, tape recorders, or laboratory apparatus.
Eligibility
Applicants are expected to have a doctorate or to have published work of doctoral character and quality. Pre-doctoral graduate students are not eligible, but the Society is particularly interested in supporting the work of young scholars who have recently received their PhDs. American citizens and residents of the United States may use their Franklin awards at home or abroad. Foreign nationals must use their Franklin awards for research in the United States. Applicants who have received Franklin grants may reapply
after an interval of two years.
Awards
Funding is offered up to a maximum of $6,000 for use in calendar year 2007. Grants are not retroactive; the beginning work date cannot antedate the month of the meeting when the proposal will be considered. Grants are payable to the individual applicant. Franklin grants are taxable income, but the Society is not required to report payments. It is recommended that grant recipients discuss their reporting obligations with their tax advisors.
Deadlines
For applications and two letters of support ON OUR FORM:
October 1, 2006, for a January 2007 decision for work in March and beyond December 1, 2006, for a March 2007 decision for work beginning in May and beyond

| The Yale World Fellows Program |
Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, USA
Finaid: full
Date: starting date: September 2007
Deadline: nomination deadline: December 31, 2006
Open to: see 'Eligibility and Selection Process'
Announcement follows:
Every generation faces difficult issues, but the pace of change in our increasingly globalized world makes the present leadership challenges particularly daunting. In the decades ahead, intelligent, effective leadership in the service of common goals and capable of bridging differences will be an increasingly critical asset. Developing this kind of leadership must be a high priority in every country. To promote this vision of a group of men and women who understand the challenges of tomorrow and the need for international cooperation, Yale University established the World Fellows Program. It offers a group of emerging leaders from diverse countries and cultures the opportunity to broaden their knowledge, gain new perspectives, sharpen their skills, and build the networks of relationships needed to meet the demands of issues on the local, national, and global scales.
Training leaders is an enterprise in which Yale University excels; for three centuries, Yale's graduates have achieved prominence across the spectrum of American political, economic, and cultural life. Yale does not have a formal leadership curriculum, but the essential ingredients have been gathered and refined over many years. An outstanding faculty attracts extraordinary students and challenges them to think -- to test and apply ideas and to weigh moral judgments in the context of real, practical problems. A Yale education emphasizes analysis and synthesis rather than the simple manipulation of information in a sterile way. Diverse in every respect, Yale's highly trained scholars and students constitute a living forum in which issues are debated from a global perspective, giving due weight to a wide range of values, interests, and points of view. Forming the backdrop and resource base for this program of dynamic intellectual activity are Yale's unsurpassed libraries, museums, laboratories, facilities, and technology support.
Building in a deliberate way upon the University's tradition, the World Fellows Program provides a training ground for leaders that reflects a rigorous standard of excellence, a commitment to inquiry, and an ongoing pursuit of innovation.
The Yale World Fellows Program Experience
Each September, 16 to 18 World Fellows come to Yale's campus in New Haven, Connecticut, for a concentrated 17-week program designed specifically for those leading and refining the critical institutions in societies around the globe. To augment their accelerating careers, the World Fellows Program provides a lively intellectual setting within which to analyze issues, debate goals, define strategies, reexamine values, and undertake a unique set of professional development opportunities. Recognizing that contemporary issues and problems defy easy categorization, the scope of the World Fellows Program is deliberately interdisciplinary, flexible, and capable of meeting the needs of Fellows across a wide range of fields. The Program also provides participants with an expanding network of contacts and connections both on campus and off to further enhance their future effectiveness.
The Yale World Fellows Program consists of five critical elements:
A program of academic study tailored to meet the individual Fellow's needs and interests;
A specially designed Yale World Fellows Seminar addressing critical global issues;
Extensive interaction -- both formal and informal -- with Yale faculty, students, alumni, and University guests;
Extracurricular activities, including a weekly speaker series and trips to Washington, DC and New York City;
The Return to Yale Forum, a biennial Fellows Alumni convocation to reunite the entire Fellowship for several days of discussion and reflection.
Eligibility and Selection Process
Nominations and applications for the Yale World Fellows Program are solicited from around the world. A Fellowship candidate must be a citizen of and reside in a country other than the United States. Preference may be given to candidates who have not had extensive educational experience in the United States, particularly at Yale. Candidates should be in the early mid-career stage, roughly five to fifteen years into their professional lives, with demonstrated work accomplishments, and a clear indication of
future contributions and excellence. A reasonable command of English is essential.
Fellowship candidates must complete an online application (online application forms are available at www.yale.edu/worldfellows) and submit at least three confidential letters of recommendation. Regional panels review semifinalist candidates and recommended finalists to a Yale faculty selection committee. The faculty committee aims to assemble a Fellowship group that is diverse, geographically balanced, and representative of a wide range of professions, talents, and perspectives.
Applications for the 2007 Program will be accepted commencing in July 2006.
Funding and Support
In addition to underwriting all program and educational costs, Yale provides Fellows with housing and a travel allowance, as well as a stipend of $30,000 to cover living expenses. The World Fellows Program will assist in making appropriate arrangements for Fellows who are joined in New Haven by a spouse or dependent minors for the duration of the Program.
Some number of extended fellowships at Yale may be available for those World Fellows who have the flexibility to stay beyond the 17-week Program for a substantive project which would benefit from additional time at Yale.
