> For UC Berkeley and non-UC Berkeley Faculty and Scholars
>
> Call for Proposals
>
> OVERVIEW
>
> The Institute of East Asian Studies (IEAS) at UC Berkeley is pleased to
> announce a faculty residential research initiative funded by a recent
> grant. This initiative will create a resident research community to engage
> in research projects concerning East Asia. Five themes, broadly defined,
> have been identified for the purpose of organizing research. Using these
> themes to set general emphasis, the IEAS invites Berkeley and non-Berkeley
> faculty members and scholars in all stages of their careers to submit
> research proposals grounded in any discipline in the humanities and social
> sciences (see Eligibility below). These proposals should be of East Asian
> content or relevance. Successful applicants will receive support to pursue
> independent research while in residence in Berkeley. They are expected to
> make at least one presentation on an individual research topic during the
> course of a semester and to attend discussion meetings. These meetings may
> be open to visiting scholars, doctoral candidates and graduate students at
> Berkeley. The objective of the program is to facilitate the creation of
> clusters of researchers who engage in conversations with each other while
> actively pursuing individual research. All projects funded under the
> program are expected to result in publications in English.
>
> Non-Berkeley scholars who plan to be in residence at Berkeley and who seek
> supplements to sabbatical awards while on leave from their home
> institutions are also invited to apply. Award amounts, program guidelines
> and application procedures for non-Berkeley scholars are the same as for
> UC Berkeley faculty members.
>
> Awards will range from $10,000 (for one semester) to $20,000 (for two
> semesters), to $25,000 (for a full year) and may be used for any purpose
> that is consistent with UC research policy. Funded activities may begin as
> early as July 1, 2011.
>
> The IEAS envisions a resident faculty research community that will
> function as the center of gravity of an extended community of visiting
> scholars, doctoral candidates and graduate students in the advancement of
> new approaches to East Asian studies. The first year for the funded
> activities under this initiative will be 2011-2012. The initiative is
> expected to be continued into a second year (2012-2013) and a third year
> (2013-2014).
>
> THEMES
>
> Under this initiative the IEAS invites proposals in any discipline that
> bear relevance to any of the following themes, either with East Asian
> content or relevance, broadly conceptualized:
>
> --sustainable and urban living
> --nature, society and the humanities
> --media, public and governance
> --knowledge, professions and economy
> -- borders, boundaries and networks
>
> Applicants should briefly indicate in their narratives how their project
> may fall within one or more of these five broad categories.

> established research institution, and to have a home institution to return

> engage in scholarly activities in fluent English is required for admission
> to this program. International scholars are also expected to meet all
