Faculty work on global issues is
recognized with new YCIAS awards

The Yale Center for International and Area Studies (YCIAS) has established two new initiatives to honor and support faculty work on global issues -- the YCIAS International Book Prizes and the YCIAS Director's Award.

The YCIAS International Book Prizes will be awarded for books on international topics written by members of the Yale faculty. Each year, a $5,000 prize will be awarded for the best first book by an author, and a $5,000 prize will be awarded for the year's best book. Books published after Jan. 1, 2002 are eligible for consideration this year. Nominations are due in the YCIAS director's office by Oct. 30.

The YCIAS Director's Awards are for non-tenured Yale faculty who receive certain distinguished individual grants, prizes or fellowships for international research. In addition to recognizing these junior faculty members' accomplishments, the Director's Award is intended to enable them to enhance their future research. Recipients will be appointed a research fellow at YCIAS and will receive research funds of $5,000 per year for two years.

Eligible faculty members who received one of the following awards after July 1, 2003 should contact the YCIAS Director's Office: Carnegie Scholarship; Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship; Wenner-Gren Individual Research Grant; National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award; Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship; Bradley Foundation Fellowship; Smith Richardson Junior Faculty Fellowship; Russell Sage Foundation Fellowship; Institute for Advanced Study Fellowship; Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences Fellowship; John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship; or the National Humanities Center Fellowship.
