Program Overview:
The grant year is from September 2009 until August 2010, but scholars must begin the grant between September 2009 and April 2010. Once the official grant papers are signed, no extensions or alterations can be made. Proposals for research projects will be evaluated not only for their scholarly, artistic or professional excellence, but also for the potential in increased mutual understanding between the U.S. and the UK. Preference is given to applicants who have not spent a significant amount of time in the UK.
