Researchers are invited to apply for Open Research Laboratory fellowships for policy-relevant research on Russian, Eastern Europe, and Eurasia. ORL Fellows have access to the extensive holdings in the Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Collection at the International and Area Studies Library and may receive one-on-one research assistance from the librarians of the Slavic Reference Service (SRS); this ensures that researchers not only find everything Illinois has to offer, but locate the most important sources available elsewhere, as well.
ORL applicants are also encouraged to consider studying an area language at Indiana University’s Summer Language Workshop, located in nearby Bloomington, IN, after their participation in the ORL. Funding in the form of Title VIII fellowships and other sources is available to eligible applicants. Those interested in overseas language study are particularly encouraged to pair ORL participation with an application for an IU Title VIII Portable Fellowship. More information and the application can be found at the Summer Language Workshop website.
Full access to the physical and electronic collections of the University of Illinois Library.

Is it difficult to acquire funding for ORL; how constrictive is the funding process?
