Multi-Country Research Fellowship

Participating Centers

Given changing travel restrictions and security warnings for many countries, applicants should contact CAORC before preparing a proposal.

Applicants should peruse the website of the proposed affiliate ORC to ensure that the proposed research topic fits within the broad purview of the ORC prior to submitting an application.

CAORC member centers to which fellows may affiliate include:

** Travel to centers in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Yemen is currently restricted by the Department of State. Special conditions apply for travel to Palestine and Pakistan. CAORC encourages applicants and fellows to check the Department of State website (http://travel.state.gov) frequently and contact CAORC for any travel updates

* Please note the following for applicants interested in Egypt, Greece, the Maghrib, and West Africa:

Applicants applying to travel to Egypt should plan to commence their research in Egypt no earlier than October 1, 2012 to ensure adequate time for research clearance.
Applicants applying to travel to Greece and affiliating with the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) must submit an ASCSA Associate Member application and a copy of their CAORC application online on the ASCSA web site, www.ascsa.edu.gr
Applicants applying to travel to Maghrib countries only should apply to the American Institute of Maghrib Studies (AIMS) for funding.
