Carnegie Research Fellowship Program

"I would like to express my thanks to the Carnegie Research Fellowship for the good chance to participate and to be a fellow of this scholarship. The NCEEER staff made me feel very welcome on my first visit to the United States. It was a good opportunity for my future professional development and career. It was an unforgettable time because I've found new friends, and learned about the American style of life, holidays and traditions."

About the Carnegie Fellowship Research Program

Established in January 2001 by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Carnegie Research Fellowship Program brings Russian and former Soviet scholars to the United States for short-term, non-degree research at American universities and research institutions. All fellows spend up to four months at their host universities conducting research on specific topics in their fields and write a 15 to 30-page academic paper for presentation upon the fellow's return home. It is expected that returning fellows will actively participate in the development of the program activities of the CASE with which they are affiliated. Fellows are also expected to present their work at conferences and receive peer evaluation of the results of their research.

Participants in this program receive the following: round-trip airfare from their home cities to the host universities in the United States; pre-departure orientation; an academic orientation in Washington, DC or Seattle; visa support; a monthly stipend; health insurance; a professional development fund; access to libraries and archives; and support for membership in international professional associations in their field. A select number of successful participants are designated as George F. Russell fellows and placed at the University of Washington.
