<span style="color:#312F30">The Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies announces the establishment of the Stephen F. Cohen–Robert C. Tucker Dissertation Research Fellowship Program for Russian Historical Studies. The Fellowship Program

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:white">
<span style="color:#312F30">Beginning in the academic year 2016-2017, the Cohen-Tucker Fellowship Program will provide up to six annual fellowships, with a stipend of $22,000, for doctoral students at US universities who are American citizens or permanent residents
to conduct their dissertation research in Russia. The program will be open to students in any discipline as long as their dissertation topics are within the scope of 19<sup>th </sup>– early 21<sup>st</sup> century Russian historical studies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:white">
