The International Dissertation Research Fellowship (IDRF) Program supports the next generation of scholars in the humanities and social sciences pursuing research that advances knowledge about non-U.S. cultures and societies. Since its inception in 1997, the IDRF program has funded more than 600 projects, with research spanning the globe. The program administers both the International Dissertation Research Fellowship for graduate students conducting dissertation research outside the United States, as well as the SSRC-CUP Book Fellowship, available to IDRF alumni to assist in the preparation of their first scholarly monograph. The IDRF Program is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and administered in partnership with the American Council of Learned Societies.
