Tang Research Foundation

Since 2016, TRF has awarded grants for faculty and graduate students to participate in exchange programs and to attend the Silk Road workshops (2017–Peking University, Beijing; 2018—Indiana University; 2019—Azerbaijan University of Languages, Baku; 2023-- Istanbul).

Now the TRF has most generously extended its support for these exchanges and workshops with annual grants. During 2024-2026 one faculty and one postdoctoral student are participating in exchanges.

Jamsheed Choksy, Director of Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center, Distinguished Professor, and Co-Director of the exchange programs and workshops, lauded the Tang Research Foundation’s invaluable assistance, observing “The TRF’s ongoing support contributes much to the exchange of knowledge whose benefits spread well beyond IU and PKU by producing better understanding and productive synergies between the USA and the PRC.”
