IEAS offers four programs for faculty support. The IEAS Residential Faculty Research Grants for 2011-12, open to Berkeley and non-Berkeley faculty alike, are designed to create a resident research community to engage in new research projects concerning East Asia. Five themes have been identified for the purpose of organizing research, which include sustainable and urban living; nature, society and the humanities; media, public and governance; knowledge, professions and economy; and borders, boundaries and networks. This program is currently accepting applications.
The second program is the Faculty Working Group program, which fosters interdisciplinary or comparative research on topics of compelling significance concerning East Asia that cannot readily take place within existing disciplinary boundaries or departmental structures. Click here for a description of the currently funded group. A new Call for Proposals will appear in March 2011.
The third program is the Faculty-led Field Research and Training Grants Program, which supports UC Berkeley faculty who wish to lead research trips to East Asia with groups of 3-5 doctoral students for a maximum of three weeks. (Currently not accepting applications).
The fourth program is the Berkeley Summer Research Institute, an intensive residential research workshop, organized in partnership with the Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan.
These grant programs are offered at various times throughout the year and are announced on our home page when available. Click on the links above for eligibility and application information.
