I recently received this e-mail from the Institute of International Education:

Following please find an announcement concerning new fellowships for threatened scholars. Scholars from any country and any field may qualify. We invite you to nominate suitable candidates, and ask for your help in forwarding the announcement to any academic colleagues who may be interested. We are especially eager to identify candidates still facing threats in their home country/region, who may not be aware of the program. At the same time, we invite participation from universities and colleges that might be willing to host fellowship recipients. We are especially eager to identify universities and colleges outside of the US, especially French, Spanish and Russian language institutions.
