The fund will support research of up to $1,000 by graduate students and predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows working on matters related to Asia.

Other possible uses include travel to U.S. or other destinations, conference attendance, the purchase of research materials, or the hiring of research assistants, all with the purpose of advancing scholarship or policy efforts connected to Asia. 

The fund will be administered by CISAC and available to graduate students working with faculty associated with FSI, Shorenstein APARC or CISAC and to predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows at those institutions.
