The Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC) announced today the 2022 award recipients for its Multi-Country Research Fellowship and the Mary Ellen Lane Multi-Country Travel Award. Now in its 29th year, the Multi-Country Research Fellowship supports advanced regional and trans-regional research in the humanities, social sciences, and allied natural sciences for U.S. doctoral candidates and scholars who hold a PhD.

For this competition cycle, nine fellowships were awarded for grants of $11,500 each. The program is funded by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
