Fellowship Writing 101: An SSRC-International Dissertation Research Fellowship Workshop

With support from the Mellon Foundation and Social Science Research Council (SSRC), this microseminar is a workshop in the art of writing proposals to fund international dissertation research. Taught by faculty members who have served on the SSRC selection committee, this seminar is open to all UW PhD students in the humanities and social sciences, with priority given to students who plan on submitting an application to the SSRC’s International Dissertation Research Fellowship (IDRF) due on Nov. 2, 2021. IDRF understands “international” as including dissertation topics beyond the US and/or related to Indigenous peoples. Seminar activities will include conversations with the IDRF director, past recipients of IDRF, and workshopping of all the components of a full IDRF application.

For more information on the IDRF Fellowship, see the SSRC fellowship guidelines.
