Candidates must follow strict academic guidelines and submit research ideas in Arabic that are at least 50,000 words long. The study needs to be unique, sound in terms of methodology, and unpublished elsewhere. For all financed research in its six supported categories, the ALC maintains all publishing rights in print and digital media.
Process of Assessment and Selection
Intellectual value, research impact, compatibility with ALC’s strategic goals, and the credentials of the principal researcher and collaborators are all taken into consideration when evaluating submitted proposals. Studies that make a substantial contribution to the advancement of Arabic language studies are given priority during the selection process.
The program received 270 applications from 31 countries during the most recent cycle, indicating strong international interest. The ALC anticipates an even larger pool of submissions as a result of the extended deadline, which will enhance the field of Arabic literary and linguistic studies.
