IIE's Scholar Rescue Fund provides one-year awards to academic institutions willing to host established scholars facing threats to their lives and careers in their home countries. These temporary academic visits are intended to allow the scholars to continue to teach, write, or research pending improvement in conditions that would permit their safe return home. SRF seeks matching funds or in-kind support from the host institution. Fellowship awards may be renewed for a second year.
