Special considerations
Grantees are reminded to observe all security, safety, and health practices appropriate for Southeast Asia, including malaria prevention. As in all developing countries, the candidates should not expect sophisticated equipment or apartments with American standards of comfort. Living conditions outside of urban areas tend to be harsh and without plumbing and electricity. Housing availability can be limited, although the situation in Phnom Penh, Siem Riep, and Battambong has improved in recent years. Use of libraries can be hampered by short hours, closed stacks, and limited circulation, although the Embassy can help to facilitate after-hours research, when needed.
