Dr Kafoutchoni's reading

The key word here is "fieldwork": the foundation is funding a dissertation project that is ready to launch, not an idea that still needs methodological shaping. Before drafting, get your department to confirm the actual completion date of coursework and exams, then align site access, research permissions, and the round that matches the right start month. Because the award is a fixed, nonrenewable grant, build a tight budget around the decisive research actions and show exactly what this single envelope will make possible. If your project bridges several subfields, use that interdisciplinarity to sharpen your anthropological angle, then have the core argument reviewed in English before the portal opens.
