The Dirksen Congressional Center invites applications for grants totaling
$50,000 in 2001 to fund research on the U.S. Congress. Political scientists,
historians, biographers, scholars of public administration or American
studies, and journalists are among those eligible. The Center also awards a
significant portion of the funds for dissertation research. Organizations
and institutions are not eligible.
The deadline for submissions is February 1, 2001, a change from previous
years. The grant selections will be announced in March 2001. Complete

The Center, named for the late Senate Minority Leader Everett M. Dirksen, is
a private, non-partisan, nonprofit research and educational organization
devoted to the study of Congress and its leaders. Since 1978, the
Congressional Research Awards program has paid out over $450,000 to support
more than 250 projects.
