- Details: This program is intended to support projects in the humanities and related social sciences that bridge disciplinary or geographic boundaries, engage new kinds of information, develop fresh approaches to traditional materials and issues, or otherwise bring innovative perspectives to the study of Chinese culture and society. Proposals are expected to be empirically grounded, theoretically informed, and methodologically explicit. The program especially encourages proposals concerning pre-modern China.
The program will support collaborative work of three types:
1. Conferences - Grants will be offered to support formal research conferences intended to produce significant new research published in a conference volume. Conferences should normally be more elaborate than proposals for planning meetings or workshops.
2. Workshops/Seminars - Grants will be offered for support of workshops or seminars designed to facilitate new research on newly available or inadequately researched problems, data, or texts. Workshops provide an opportunity for participants to discuss and analyze new approaches or new sources, or both, in a seminar-like setting.
3. Planning Meetings - Grants will be offered for less formal meetings to plan conferences or workshops, or for less structured explorations of issues in Chinese culture and society.The program aims to provide opportunities for interchange among scholars who may not otherwise have chances to work with one another. Accordingly, proposals will not be supported for activities that involve scholars primarily from one institution or that fall within an institution's normal range of colloquia, symposia, or seminar series. In addition, the program does not normally support regularly scheduled meetings, conventions, or parts thereof.
