The grant provides for one-year fellowships with the Field Museum for two Bulgarian scholars in archeology or bio-archeology who will conduct their independent post-doctoral research which should result in major publications. The successful applicants in 2011 – 2012 academic year are Dr. Tzenka R. Tzanova who works on ‘Emergence of Cultural Modernity. Middle to Upper Paleolithic Transition in the Eastern Balkans: Neanderthal - Modern Human Cultural Transactions’ and Dr. Kroum N.
