C) FQS SURVEY
We would like to thank all of you who already responded to our survey
and would like to invite those who had no chance to respond to visit
http://www.unipark.de/uc/fqs_evaluation/eng/
Answering the questionnaire 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).

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.
