Online Application Available for the Short-Term US Embassy Policy
Specialist Program

The Short-Term US Embassy Policy Specialist Program (EPS) offers US
senior scholars an opportunity to conduct research abroad while serving
as experts to a US embassy or consulate. This year, IREX anticipates
awarding four grants. Successful applicants will demonstrate how their
experience, skills, and knowledge will benefit US Embassy personnel, as
well as the academic merit and feasibility of their proposed research.

Grantees will serve the embassy or consulate and conduct their own
research for approximately one month. Grant length and dates will be
decided upon in consultation with the specific embassy or consulate.
Examples of embassy service can include attending meetings, giving
lectures, writing policy papers, assisting with grant panels, and
consulting with embassy policy staff.

This year, EPS is accepting applications in the following fields and
countries:

* Baku, Azerbaijan: economic diversity, religious pluralism, or
civic education (specifically as it relates to anti-corruption and
election issues)
* Tashkent, Uzbekistan: media
* Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan: ethics/anti-corruption or academic honesty
* Vladivostok, Russia: crime and corruption

Please visit the IREX website for eligibility requirements and more
information:
