AAS East and Inner Asia Council (EIAC) Small Grants (application deadline Feb. 3, 2025)

The East and Inner Asia Council of the AAS (EIAC; formerly the China and Inner Asia Council [CIAC]) makes small grant awards of up to $2,000. Dissertation-level graduate students and scholars with special interests in China, Taiwan, or Inner Asia are invited to submit proposals. EIAC Small Grant awards are made possible through funding provided by the Chiang Ching-kuo (CCK) Foundation and from AAS member donations.

• Short research trips for dissertation-level graduate students, and for scholars at non-research institutions, to travel to major libraries and collections or other research sites. If your project involves interviewing human subjects, please see specific requirements in this regard below. Also, please note, EIAC grant funds cannot be used to pay for human subjects. Regarding eligible research travel expenses, see below.
• Short research trips for translators of scholarly books and articles to travel to major libraries and collections or other research sites directly related to the translation project; funding is not intended to compensate grant applicants for actual time spent translating.
• Organization of conferences and seminars—particularly for the organization of small conferences and seminars away from major centers of Chinese studies.
• Specialist or regional newsletters or websites disseminating important information to their respective fields.
