| - | -- OBJECTIVES: The sponsor supports anthropological research projects undertaken jointly by two or more investigators from different countries, where the principal investigators bring different and complementary perspectives, knowledge, and/or skills to the project.

| - | -- ELIGIBILITY: Proposals must involve collaboration between two or more researchers of different nationalities who are working in different countries. Each researcher must hold a doctorate or equivalent qualification in anthropology or a related discipline. Scholars are eligible without regard to institutional or departmental affiliation. Priority is given to those projects involving at least one principal investigator who is a citizen of, and is working and residing in, a country where anthropology is underrepresented and where there are limited resources to develop the discipline. Other international collaborations will, however, be given serious consideration where they are consistent with at least two of the following aims of the sponsor to: bring together
| + | |
| - | researchers with different national perspectives that complement each other and enrich the research; strengthen anthropology in countries where there are limited resources to support its development; and combine different areas of expertise and knowledge that will benefit both researchers.

| - | | + | |
| - | -- FUNDING: Grants cover research expenses such as: travel, living expenses during fieldwork, childcare costs research assistance, expenses of communication between the researchers, and other relevant expenditures. If a training element is also included in the
| + | |
| - | application, the maximum amount of the requested funds can be increased to $35,000. Of this amount, a maximum of $10,000 can be used towards technical and methodological training of academic project personnel (co-applicant/s, students, and other professional colleagues). The training can be of any type that will build the skill and knowledge base of the collaborating personnel.

| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | The Practitioner Track - The Reagan-Fascell program was established primarily to support democratic activists, human rights advocates, journalists, and others who work on the front lines of democracy promotion in emerging and aspiring democracies. The program seeks to provide experienced activists with an opportunity to reflect on their work, learn from counterparts in the United States, and reevaluate techniques for building democracy in their country of origin. Fellowships on the practitioner track tend to be short-term (5 months), typically culminating in a strategy memorandum, short article or op-ed and a presentation of the fellow's analysis and ideas.

Accomplished scholars from established democracies are also eligible to apply. Applicants are expected to possess a Ph.D., or academic equivalent, at the time of application, and to have developed a rigorous research outline. During their stay at the Forum, which can range from 5 to 10 months, scholars make at least one presentation and complete a substantial piece of writing (a monograph or book) for publication.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | -- ELIGIBILITY:
| + | |

| - | Practitioner Track: While there are no specific degree requirements for applicants selecting the practitioner track, candidates interested in this track are expected to have substantial practical experience working on behalf of some aspect of democracy building such as human rights advocacy, political party activism, voter education, election monitoring, journalism and press freedom, ethnic pluralism, civic education, etc.
| + | |
| - |
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Scholarly Track: Individuals interested in the scholarly track are expected to possess a Ph.D. or academic equivalent at the time of
| + | |
| - | application, to have published in their field of expertise, and to have developed a detailed research outline for their fellowship
| + | |
| - | project. While the scholarly track is intended primarily for accomplished or promising scholars from new and emerging democracies,
| + | |
| - | distinguished scholars from the United States and other established democracies are also eligible to apply. Examples of eligible
| + | |
| - | candidates for the scholarly track include college and university professors, scholars, analysts at research centers and think tanks, and independent writers.
| + | |
