IIE has launched the “Vartan Gregorian Research Grants in the IIE Scholar Rescue Fund.” Around 4 IIE-SRF partners will be selected to receive grants of up to $25,000 that will help fund original research or other projects that deepen knowledge of the threats faced by academics in diverse contexts across the globe and/or that explore innovative ideas for supporting these scholars.

IIE-SRF welcomes proposals from individuals that broadly explore the displacement of academics or attacks on higher education and scholarly inquiry worldwide, including the factors that lead to such attacks or their effects. Relevant issues include those in the context of targeted threats against academia and academics or protracted conflict and higher education emergencies. Projects may be undertaken for up to one year and all activities must take place between April 2022 and March 2023. 

Applications will be accepted from January 10, 2022 through February 15, 2022. All application materials must be submitted by February 15, 2022.
