AFA is an Asia-wide fellowship program that aims to create a multinational
network of Asian specialists on Asia.  It offers young scholars and
mid-career professionals opportunities to conduct research in any field of
Asian studies including the arts, culture, humanities and social
sciences.  The research project can be undertaken for a period of six to

Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka; Southeast Asian countries like
Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam;
and the People's Republic of China.

Applications of AFA must not be more than 45 years old.  They must also
have a master's or doctorate degree, be proficient in English or in the
language of the host country, and have a minimum of three years of
