Research Fellowships and Travel Grants

Research Fellowships and Travel Grants

Established in 2010, these funding programs award grants to scholars engaged in projects studying Congress, politics, or policy issues. The Dole Archive and Special Collections at the Dole Institute of Politics houses Senator Bob Dole’s extensive collections that document his 36-year career in the House and Senate. While in residence, the Research Fellow and travel grant awardees will use these collections, which encompass a wide range of legislative, historical, and policy issues.

Support for the Research Fellowship and travel grants is generously provided by the Friends of the Dole Institute.

Examples of past research projects

Travel Grants

The travel grant program is intended to defray costs associated with research-related travel to the Dole Institute. This program offers reimbursements of up to $750 to undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and independent scholars.  Awards for 2017 must be used before June 30, 2018, while 2018 awards may be used after July 1, 2018.

Recipients will be required to submit a final copy of any projects produced through the travel grant as well as submitting to the Dole Institute a 500-1000 word statement describing the research conducted here that will be used by the Dole Institute.

Deadlines
Applications for travel grants are reviewed on a rolling basis. There is no deadline to apply, and applications will be accepted until funds are exhausted. Applicants can expect a decision regarding their application within 2-4 weeks.

Research Fellowship

The Dole Archive and Special Collections is now accepting applications for the 2018 Research Fellowship.  Graduate students and post-doctoral scholars are eligible to apply for this $2,500 award which will support substantial contributions to the study of Congress, politics, or policy issues on a national or international scale.

The fellow will be required to conduct research at the Dole Archives for a period of 1-3 weeks between July 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019.

In addition, the Fellow will be required to submit a final copy of projects produced through the Fellowship as well as submitting to the Dole Institute a 500-1000 word statement describing the research conducted here that will be used by the Dole Institute.
