2021 ASSA-CASS Joint Action Program – research grant applications now open

Applications for the 2021 ASSA-CASS Joint Action Program now open

The Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia is calling for applications for the 2021 ASSA-CASS Joint Action Program.

In 2021, four research 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.

The grant can be expended throughout 2021 on the costs associated with the project which may include, but are not limited to, air travel, accommodation, data collection, and digital conferencing

To apply, researchers must submit a short statement indicating their interest in a new research project with an overseas partner having similar interests. Each application must contain at least one researcher from Australia and one from CASS. As the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia encourages the participation of early-career researchers, at least one applicant must be fewer than eight years beyond the completion of their PhD. Proposals with an interdisciplinary character are encouraged.

Applications close on Monday 16 November 2020.
