The EISA DIssertation Fieldwork Support Grant is designed to support EISA members enrolled in any PhD program in International Studies or related fields whose thesis research aims to contribute to advance knowledge in the broader field of IR.
The EISA DIssertation Fieldwork Support Grant will contribute up to 3,500 Euros for each of the 5 selected candidates. Applicants are required to prepare a preliminary budget with cost break-downs. The requested amount must be realistic, make good use of financial recources, and justified by the applicant in line with the specifics of the fieldwork (duration, travel from place of residence to place of fieldwork, living costs in the place of fieldwork, etc.). The EISA has the discretion to approve/disapprove a lower/higher amount than requested.
The goal of this funding scheme is to support fieldwork-based research in International Studies or related subfields, as long as the main contribution of the thesis is situated within the former’s concepts, theories and/or debates.
Eligible applicants are EISA members enrolled in PhD programs whose memberships are active at the time of the application and throughout the period of the duration of the travel that lack the finances for fieldwork travel.
a motivation letter (up to 2 pages, Times New Roman 12pt., margins of 3 cm each side and 1.5 space) briefly explaining their PhD project, work plan with clear description of tasks and places of travel and the need for the funds;
a short CV (up to 2 pages)
a declaration stating the existence or not of any other financial support and amount, as well as the need for the grant
a preliminary budget with a break-down of each expense item and explanation of the rationale for each cost. Amounts can be estimative, though these must be realistic, the elegibility for the use of funds is bounded to the verification of similar amounts requested per item. A table outlining each cost would be helpful.
