<p>China and Inner Asia Council Small Grants Program<br />
Accepting Applications</p>
<p>Dear AAS Members Working on China, Taiwan, and Inner Asia,</p>
<p>The AAS/CIAC has funds to support small grants for members working on China, Taiwan, or Inner Asia. The CIAC Small Grants program is supported by generous funding by the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation, as well as from independent donations from AAS members that are currently in the process of being solicited (please see the following AAS webpage, bottom, to donate: <a class="" href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__asian-2Dstudies.bmetrack.com_c_l-3Fu-3D763C8D3-26e-3DA72084-26c-3D6953C-26t-3D0-26l-3D2B9D1F07-26email-3DOUuIzehNR7j0WZ-252Bf1dC5aDciHg-252FVbFy1-26seq-3D1&d=DwMFaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=pVopasZuNYySmVncYgQlhQ&m=x9bKNtYK0J9kG1ODPDE7t8OmOwkJIlSGUy8T0BjoVvs&s=H5pk0TaZYGfsXWkdTOhRmrA8dvGNeThBTiFBBtUNUjA&e=" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.asian-studies.org/About/Donate</a>). We are typically able to award approximately 20 - 25 CIAC Small Grants annually (and we are hoping we can garner as much in donations as we did last year to enable this number of awards).</p>
<p class="">Qualified individuals can apply for small grants up to $2,000 in a number of categories including: research travel, travel for translation projects, conference and seminar organization, specialist or regional newsletters, and website development. Travel to conferences and book subventions are explicitly <em class="">excluded</em>, unfortunately.</p>
<p class="">Dissertation-level graduate students and scholars whose research concerns China, Taiwan or Inner Asia are invited to submit proposals. <strong class="">Applicants must be current AAS members, but there are no citizenship requirements</strong>. Junior and independent scholars, adjunct faculty, lecturers, librarians, translators, and dissertation-level graduate students are especially encouraged to apply. Applicants must not have received a CIAC Small Grant within the past three years.</p>
<p class=""><strong class="">The grant deadline for receiving applications is Thursday, February 1, 2018 at 5 p.m. EST. </strong>Award notification will be made by mid-April 2018 and <span class="">qualifying projects must begin after May 1, 2018 and be completed and all forms submitted by April 30, 2019 to be considered.</span></p>
<p class="">Please note that the award of CIAC small grants for Spring 2018 is dependent on the AAC/CIAC receiving continued funding for this program. The results of an AAS/CIAC grant funding application are still pending, but should be known by late December 2017/early January 2018 and will be posted on the CIAC small grants webpage.</p>
<p class="">Please see the AAS website for further details, important guidelines, and application forms and submission instructions:</p>
