Dear All,

FQS exits since 1999. The number of users continues to increase steadily 
(currently more than 7,800 colleagues worldwide receive our monthly 
newsletter) and it is time to learn a little more about you as users of 
FQS. We would like to know who reads FQS, who publishes in FQS, how far 
FQS fulfils the needs of its users and what ideas and suggestions you 
might have about the further development of FQS.

The questionnaire is available at 
http://www.unipark.de/uc/fqs_evaluation/eng/, and answering all 
questions will take about 20 to 30 minutes.

The results of the survey will be included in a thesis concerning the 
relevance of open-access journals in the social sciences, using FQS as 
an example. Of course, all responses will be kept strictly confidential, 
analysed anonymously, and not be given to any third party.
For questions concerning the evaluation, please contact Lisa Koch 
(e-mail: fqs-evaluation@qualitative-research.net).

Thank you very much for your participation!
Katja Mruck

2. Social Science Research Council and the American Council of Learned 
Societies: Fellowship Announcement

The Social Science Research Council and the American Council of Learned 
Societies announce the 2008 competition of the INTERNATIONAL 
DISSERTATION RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP (IDRF) program, designed to support 
distinguished graduate students in the humanities and social sciences 
who are conducting dissertation research outside the United States. 
Seventy-five fellowships of approximately $20,000 will be awarded in 
2008 with funds provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The IDRF program is committed to scholarship that advances knowledge 
about non-U.S. cultures and societies grounded in empirical and 
site-specific research (involving fieldwork, research in archival or 
manuscript collections, or quantitative data collection). The program 
promotes research that is situated in a specific discipline and 
geographical region and is engaged with interdisciplinary and 
cross-regional perspectives.

Applicants must have completed all Ph.D. requirements except on-site 
dissertation research by the time the fellowship begins or by December 
2008, whichever comes first. Fellowships will provide support for nine 
to twelve months of dissertation research. The fellowship must be held 
for a single continuous period within the eighteen months between July 
2008 and December 2009. Deadline: November 6, 2007.
