Title VIII Combined Research and Language Training Program
Part of Title VIII Research Fellowships, the Research Scholar Program and Combined Research and Language Training Program (CRLT) provide up to nine months of full support for overseas research in Russia, Eurasia, & the Balkans.
Fellowship Programs
• Research Scholar Program
• Combined Research and Language Training
