In 2019, at least four grants will be awarded to teams of social scientists from Australia and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS). The grant is intended to provide Australian and CASS researchers the opportunity to collaborate in areas of interest to both parties. The grant is particularly suited to younger researchers who wish to investigate a research opportunity with an international colleague, and pursue preliminary study which could lead to a larger research project. It calls for researchers to submit a short statement indicating their interest in a new research project with an overseas partner having similar interests. Proposals which encompass multiple disciplines are welcome. The grant can be expended throughout 2019 on costs such as air travel, accommodation, digital conferencing, and other means of communicating between Australia, China, and any other relevant locations.
Applications are due to ASSA by Wednesday, 31st October 2018.
