Description
IIIT invites applications for doctoral research grants for 2017. The maximum amount for each doctoral research grant is €2000 (euros). These grants are meant to support research and writing by individual doctoral students. Grants could include funding for travel and research support. Grants will be distributed at the beginning of a grant period. Fifty percent of the amount will be allocated and the remainder on completion of research. The academic nature of the project should fall under the IIIT policies and guidelines. For individual grant applications holding a PhD is not a requirement for the doctoral research grants, but applicants should be enrolled in a PhD program in Europe.
Grant Recipient’s Obligations
Grant recipient will acknowledge IIIT’s support when she/he produces a publishable outcome or presents research at academic venues. The recipient will be expected to produce a publishable paper, to be submitted to the American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences (AJISS) – IIIT’s academic, double blind peer reviewed journal – or to be published in the IIIT’s Occasional Papers Series. In case the paper cannot be published in AJISS, or as an OP, a summarized version of the paper may be published in IIIT’s newsletter or other similar outlets. A complete paper should be submitted no later than 15th November 2017. IIIT may invite the grant recipient to present her/his work at the Institute.
Deadline for Applications and Grant Decisions
The deadline for IIIT doctoral research grant applications is 28th February 2017.
