>>The William Davidson Institute will support research by U.S. scholars on 
>>the following topics:

>>*       Public policies which affect the development of markets
>>
>>Research should focus on, but need not exclusively address, the Balkans. 
>>One to three grants between the amounts of $10,000 and $35,000 will be 
>>awarded.  Grants will be awarded for up to, but not exceeding, 19 months 
>>beginning June 1, 2002. Priority will be given to projects that 
>>demonstrate cost sharing. Grant recipients may be asked to present their 
>>findings at Davidson Institute and U.S. Department of State policy forums.
>>
>>Applicants must have completed a PhD degree or be a current PhD 
>>candidate, and must show a demonstrated commitment to the study of 
>>transition economies in Central and Eastern Europe.  Collaborative 
>>projects are eligible, but only if the non-U.S. collaborator is funded 
>>from other sources.  Grant funds may be used for travel, summer support 
>>or salary replacement, research assistants and data acquisition.  The 
>>research papers resulting from the grants will be added to the Davidson 
>>Institute Working Paper Series, and data accumulated under the grant will 
>>be deposited at the Davidson Institute Data Center and made available to 
>>other researchers within a negotiated time frame.
>>
