UCLA PROMISE ARMENIAN INSTITUTE GRANT AND FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Los Angeles, CA — The Promise Armenian Institute (PAI) at UCLA announced Grant and Fellowship Opportunities for the 2025-2026 academic year. These opportunities are available to promote scholarship in areas relevant to the PAI mission.
The UCLA PAI offers Faculty Research Grants, Course Development Grants, Faculty/Scholar Travel Grants, Student Research or Travel Grants, Post-Candidacy Ph.D. Fellowships, and Postdoctoral Fellowships for research in fields represented within Armenian studies, such as Armenian language, literature, and history, as well as all other academic fields—including but not limited to the social sciences, health sciences, humanities, music, arts, engineering, and public policy—with a clear research emphasis on or direct relevance to Armenia or Armenians.
These one-year grants and Ph.D. fellowships are available to UCLA personnel at the appropriate level, while postdoctoral fellowships for up to two years in duration are available from the PAI or from its Armenian Genocide Research Program for doctoral degree recipients with degrees from any institution.
The PAI strongly encourages collaborative research projects between UCLA faculty and scholars/institutions in the Republic of Armenia.
Scholars with doctoral degrees from institutions in Armenia or other non-U.S. institutions are strongly encouraged to apply for a PAI Postdoctoral Fellowship.
Additional funding opportunities are available through the UCLA PAI-affiliated Operation Armenia (OA) program for public health or healthcare-related research pertaining to Armenia and/or Armenians globally, with emphasis on proposals that are in alignment with the Republic of Armenia’s stated healthcare and public health priorities, such as implementation of universal health coverage, emergency preparedness, and primary care strengthening.
