Osi Central Asia and Caucasus Research and Training Initiative
2011 Junior and Senior Fellowships
The International Higher Education Support Program (HESP) is committed
to the advancement of higher education in the humanities and social
sciences throughout the region of South-East Europe and Eurasia. As
part of HESP's effort to promote the internationalizatio n of
scholarship and development of indigenous capacities for independent
and critical academic work in the region, the Central Asia and
Caucasus Research and Training Initiative (CARTI) provides support and
training for original research by young university-based academics in
their home academic environment. The program targets the scholars in
the early stages of their postgraduate training and recent graduates
of doctoral programs in the post-Soviet countries of South Caucasus
and Central Asia, Afghanistan and Mongolia. CARTI seeks to assist the
motivated young academics who are in crucial early stages of their
careers to gain critical competence with the foundational and current
scholarship and active involvement in international intellectual
exchange and debate in their subject areas. With the support of CARTI,
the Fellows engage state-of-the- art resources, theories, methodologies
and approaches to their research and teaching in the subjects and
areas of importance to the academic and social development in the
region. CARTI is committed to enrichment and innovation in higher
education in the humanities and social sciences and emphasizes the
significance of original and critical scholarly work in the
development of university teaching and curricula.
CARTI Junior Fellowships support the individuals in early stages of
their formal Doctoral studies (such as aspirantura) and focus on
development of ideas and skills for high-quality research work. Junior
Fellowships serve as medium for testing and challenging the theories,
methods and assumptions in the core of the individual research
projects, while at the same time guiding and assisting the Fellows in
the first independent large-scale research efforts. Senior Fellowships
are offered to young scholars who have recently received their
Doctoral (e.g. Candidate of Science) degrees. The Fellowships support
the advancement or revision of their research agenda and development
of international research and teaching partnerships with special
emphasis on presentation of scholarly work and
translating/ incorporating the outcomes and experience of research into
teaching.
Through its mentoring scheme, CARTI helps to establish and supports
active direct collaboration of Fellows with advanced International
Scholars engaged in the studies and teaching in the similar subjects.
The program offers training opportunities to help Fellows develop
competence with foundational theories and methodologies in the
disciplines and thematic areas of their academic work and venues for
peer feedback, discussion and collaboration on the regional and
international levels.
The typical term of CARTI Fellowship support is 24 months. The support
package covers the purchase of and access to research and teaching
materials and resources, equipment, funding for research activities,
exchange visits between the Fellow and the International Scholar
(including full funding for a Fellow's academic visit to the home
university of the International Scholar for the duration of an
academic semester), development of teaching materials and a stipend.
All Applicants for CARTI Fellowships must be citizens and residents of
the following countries: Afghanistan* , Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan* and Uzbekistan.
