AIPS is pleased to offer several academic awards, which are available to graduate students and faculty scholars studying topics related to Pakistan.
AIPS Fellowships are designed to provide research support for both pre- and post-doctoral scholars.
The AIPS Book Prize awards outstanding recent publications related to Pakistan.
The AIPS Travel Grant provides funding to travel to and present research at conferences worldwide.
The Scholar-in-Residence program (currently inactive) allows for senior faculty members to spend time in Islamabad without pursuing a specific research agenda.
You can view the current AIPS Grantees for all of these awards.
In addition, we are happy to provide information about other sources of funding related to Pakistan studies.
AIPS Fellowships and Travel Grants are funded by the Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC), of which AIPS is a member. Founded in 1981, CAORC is a private not-for-profit federation of 22 independent overseas research centers that promote advanced research, particularly in the humanities and social sciences, with focus on the conservation and recording of cultural heritage and the understanding and interpretation of modern societies. CAORC fosters research projects across national boundaries, encourages collaborative research and programmatic and administrative coherence among member centers, and works to expand their resource base and service capacity.
