Dear Ha Huong,
For our grants program, the media researchers can be based anywhere in
the world. As for the partner non-profit organization, they must be
based in the United States of America, except by special invitation by
our program. Unfortunately, our program does not currently have the
capacity to review the number of applications that may result from an
open invitation to all international organizations.
You may find it useful to review descriptions of our previously funded
grant winners on the Media Research Hub:
http://mediaresearchhub.ssrc.org/grants. If you choose to apply, please
give special attention to the project and applicant criteria here:
http://mediaresearchhub.ssrc.org/grants/large-grants.
Best,
The NKDPS Team

Dear sir/madam
Kindly advise me whether researchers residing in other
countries rather than the US are qualified for the
grant.
Kind regards,
