- The Mohamed Ali Foundation Fellowship Programme is hosted by Durham University and funded by the Mohamed Ali Foundation. It is awarded to early career (post-doctoral) or established scholars. The Fellowship is established to devote scholarly attention to the Abbas Hilmi II Papers held at Durham University and to make the collection’s strengths more widely known to scholars.Fellows will be awarded an honorarium and accommodation and all meals will be provided for the duration of the fellowship; a research travel grant is also available to each fellow.
- The Sir William Luce Fellowship is awarded annually to a scholar at post-doctoral level, diplomat, politician, or business executive, working on urgent regional issues that particularly affect Sudan, South Sudan, South Arabia, the Gulf States and Iran. The Fellowship is hosted by Durham University during the Easter term of each academic year. The Fellowship, tenable jointly in the Institute for Middle Eastern & Islamic Studies and Trevelyan College, entitles the holder to full access to departmental and other University facilities such as Computing and Information Services and the University Library. The Fellowship also carries a grant, accommodation and all meals for the duration of the Fellowship.
