THE EDITOR

Preface

The German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C., is dedicated to pro-moting transatlantic exchange between historians and social scientists.Support of graduate students and younger scholars, both German andAmerican, has always been an important part of its mission. In 1989, soonafter its founding, the GHI published a German-American Scholarship Guidefor Historians and Social Scientists, edited by Jurgen Heideking, AnneHope, and Ralf Stegner, in response to the widely recognized need for acomprehensive overview of the resources available for German-American academic exchange. Five years later, Manfred Berg and JanineS. Micunek produced an updated edition, the German-American Scholar-ship Guide: Exchange Opportunities for Historians and Social Scientists 1994/95, and in 1999 Christof Mauch and Birgit Zischke compiled a muchenlarged publication: Research and Funding: A German-American Guide forHistorians and Social Scientists.

Research and Study in the United States and Germany: A Guide to Fundingfor Historians and Social Scientists is an updated version of the 1999 direc-tory. The GHI is grateful to Michael Wala as well as to editors of theearlier publications upon which this guide is based.

Research and Study in the United States and Germany will be available onthe GHI’s website. It will be revised at regular intervals, and the GHIwelcomes feedback from readers. Suggestions, corrections, and informa-tion can be sent to [email protected].

Director, GHI Christof Mauch

Introduction

Research and Study in the United States and Germany: A Guide to Funding forHistorians and Social Scientists is divided into two parts, the first devotedto funding for research and study in the United States, the second tofunding for research and study in Germany. Sponsoring organizations(foundations, universities, and governmental bodies) are listed alphabeti-cally and are cross-referenced in an index according to the category ofgrants. Entries provide brief information on scope, eligibility, provisions,and application procedures for each program. In addition to postal ad-dresses, phone and fax numbers, e-mail and web addresses have beenincluded to encourage potential applicants to contact the sponsoring or-ganizations directly for additional and/or updated information beforeapplying.

Potential applicants may also want to consult the excellent guidespublished by the American Historical Association (Grants, Fellowshipsand Prizes of Interest to Historians: for AHA members, this service is alsoavailable online at http://www.theaha.org/); the German Academic Ex-change Service (Studium, Forschung, Lehre: Forderungsmoglichkeitenim Ausland fur Deutsche: see the online database at http://www.daad.de/): the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (Ful-bright Scholar Program: Grants for Faculty and Professionals: online athttp://www.iie.org/cies/); and the International Institute of Education(Academic Year Abroad et al.: online at http://www.iie.org/). Potentialresources for funding can also be searched online at the excellent GAR-DINET web site http://www.aicgs.org/gardinet. Additionally, the Foun-dation Center, an independent nonprofit information clearinghouse, of-fers a wide range of materials and information on funding, particularlyfor smaller and specialized grants and awards (online for a small monthlyfee at http://www.fdncenter.org). It operates libraries in Atlanta, Cleve-land, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., that are opento the public.

This guide builds on the work of the three previous funding guidespublished by the German Historical Institute, Washington, DC. I want toexpress my gratitude to my predecessors. I want also to thank Janel B.Galvanek at the GHI, who prepared the manuscript for publication, andall the institutions and individuals who contributed information.
