WASHINGTON, DC-IREX today announced two new programs for US
scholars: the Short-Term US Embassy Policy Specialist Program and the
Policy-Connect Program. These programs are graciously being supported by
the United States Department of State (Title VIII Program) and John J.
and Nancy Lee Roberts.

The US Embassy Policy Specialist Program will support short-term
fellowships for senior US scholars to conduct research and serve as
specialists in residence on select topics to US embassies and consulates
in Eurasia.

The Policy-Connect Program will allow teams of US scholars to
conduct collaborative research in key fields such as terrorism,
trafficking in persons, economic development, HIV/AIDS, organized crime
and corruption, post-Soviet relations between Eurasia and the Middle
East, and women's political participation. Regions included for this
program are Eurasia, Southeast Europe, and the Middle East and North
Africa.

These new programs complement IREX's traditional programs for US
scholars, including:

* The Master's Individual Advanced Research Opportunities Program:
Grants for master's students to conduct policy-relevant research in
Europe and Eurasia.
* The Predoctoral Individual Advanced Research Opportunities
Program: Grants for predoctoral candidates to conduct policy-relevant
dissertation research in Europe and Eurasia.
* The Postdoctoral Individual Advanced Research Opportunities
Program: Grants to postdoctoral scholars and professionals with terminal
degrees to conduct policy-relevant research in Europe and Eurasia.
* Regional Policy Symposium: This year the Symposium will focus on
Asia. Scheduled for the spring of 2005, this program will bring
together senior and junior scholars to discuss a variety of political,
economic, historical, and cultural topics related to the larger Asian
region.
* Short-Term Travel Grants Program: Grants of up to $3,500 for up
to two months of independent or collaborative policy-relevant research
for postdoctoral scholars and professionals with terminal degrees.
