About This Opportunity

The American Center for Mongolian Studies (ACMS) Field Research Fellowship Program provides awards to support short-term field research in Mongolia. The program is designed for students, post-docs, and early-career scholars conducting research in any field including humanities, arts, sciences, and social sciences. Fellows receive funding to conduct field research in Mongolia between May and October, with projects lasting a minimum of three weeks but ideally four to six weeks or more. All fellows are required to conduct community engagement or outreach activities as part of their fellowship, such as workshops for Mongolian researchers or presentations at Mongolian universities. The program aims to support the development of Mongolian Studies and facilitate academic field research experiences, with preference given to researchers from non-research intensive institutions and those guiding student research projects.
