Fellowship opportunities

We are constantly getting emails about fellowship opportunities for supplemental income at various points in our dissertation writing experience. It would be great to compile those somewhere central so I don't have to scroll through my email all the time. I suggest that we aggregate them in the comment section of this post. So please all, comment accordingly.

Here's one:
The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) based in Arlington VA developes and carries out policies that advance the well being of dairy producers and the cooperatives they own. The members of NMPF's 33 cooperatives produce the majority of the U.S. milk supply, making NMPF the voice of nearly 50,000 dairy producers on Capitol Hill and with government agencies.

NMPF allocates monies each year towards dairy scholarships for the purpose of supporting students actively pursuing dairy-related fields of research that will directly benefit milk marketing cooperatives and the U.S. dairy industry at large. During the upcoming 2007-2008 academic year, NMPF is offering four scholarships to qualified graduate students: three $2,000 scholarships and one $3,000 scholarship.

We welcome applications for students with a variety of research interests. General research areas which have provided useful information to our milk marketing cooperatives include, but are not limited to: animal health, environmental, economics, food safety, genetics, marketing and price analysis, nutrition, product development and agriculture communications and journalism.

Applications are available on the NMPF website at www.nmpf.org. Applications and letters of recommendation must be received by April 20, 2007. Selections will be made by June 6, 2007. For more information, visit the NMPF website or contact Daniela Bals at the NMPF office at 703-243-6111.

And Another:
To: Doctoral Candidates, Graduate Faculty, Directors of Graduate Studies

From: Charles Caramello
Dean of the Graduate School

Subject: Ann G. Wylie Dissertation Fellowships

In spring 2007, the Graduate School will award 40 Ann G. Wylie Dissertation Fellowships. Each fellowship will carry a stipend of $10,000. Recipients also will receive candidacy tuition remission and $400 toward the cost of health insurance. The fellowships provide financial support for either the fall 2007 or the spring 2008 semester, and are intended for students who are in the final stages of writing their dissertations, whose primary source of support is unrelated to their dissertations, and who expect to receive their degrees in December ’07, May ’08, or August ‘08. Each doctoral program may nominate up to two students.

Programs should evaluate candidates on four criteria:

1. The likelihood of the student’s completing the dissertation during the 2007-08 academic year.
2. The quality of the student’s work.
3. The potential contribution of the dissertation to the student’s field of research.
4. The student’s other sources of support.

Applicants will be asked to submit an application form; a 500-word abstract written for a general audience, including a statement of the significance of the study; a one-page statement of the work completed to date, the work remaining, the timeline, and the expected completion date; a curriculum vitae; and two letters of recommendation. Recommendations should be written by the student’s advisor and the program’s or department’s director of graduate studies. If the advisor is also the director of graduate studies, the second letter should be written by the program or department chair.

For application forms, please go to: http://www.gradschool.umd.edu/fellowship.

Students who wish to apply for the fellowship should submit a copy of the application form and the required attachments to their advisor and director of graduate studies. Students who have funding that is related to their dissertation research, who hold another substantial fellowship, or who will not graduate by August 2008, should not apply.

Each department or program chair is asked to convene a committee to select its nominee or nominees. Nominations are due in the Graduate School by noon, Wednesday, March 14, 2007. Departments and programs should submit twelve (12) sets of the student’s materials (original plus 11 copies). Copies must be collated and recommendations must be integrated into the packets (not sent separately). Please use clips only (no staples). Students should check with their director of graduate studies to see when the department will review applications.

The recipients of the Wylie Dissertation Fellowships will be announced in April 2007.

Heather compiled such a list when she was grad rep. It seems like a logical responsibility. Of course it could be delegated, just like the seminar page used to be.

I like the idea in general of compiling these at a blog where they can be tagged and then read in a digest form instead of disappearing into the abyss that is my inbox. So I propose that we figure out how to commonly tag each fellowship opportunity and then post them at our own leisure. Then a digest can be assembled. Ideas? Also there is the potential to do something similar in dbase form using Google's new (relatively) online spreadsheet tool. Anybody specified can view/augment a shared spreadhseet online through their google account. React?

I want to call to you attention the breadth of funding opportunities provided by the National Research Initiative (NRI) http://www.csrees.usda.gov/fo/fundview.cfm?fonum=1606, many of which hold promise for economics realted proposals. The 2007 NRI Request for Applications http://www.csrees.usda.gov/funding/rfas/nri_rfa.html defines those opportunuities.



A number of CSREES National Program Leaders have expressed disappointment at the lack of economics proposals in their program areas, the absense of which, in and of itself, defines a gap in the research portfolio. Also, without such proposals it is difficult for our NPLs and panel managers to solicit economists to serve on the review panels.



I urge you to encourage your faculty, particularly younger faculty and new hires, to review the opportunities listed below (I don’t know if the hot links will work, but the same information can be accessed though the RFA above, on page 16). I realize that it takes a considerable commitment of time to prepare competitive proposals, but I encourage your faculty to make the investment, as I suspect that the funding probability may be higher for economics related proposals in sevaral of these areas. Also keep in mind that a new RFA will be be issued in the fall. It is not too early to begin.

I wanted to make the ENR community aware of a new CSREES grant opportunity that hit the streets last Monday. Its called “Ecological Impacts from the Interactions of Climate Change, Land Use Change and Invasive Species: A Joint Research Solicitation – EPA, USDA” This is a collaboratorion between the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Program and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Research Initiative (NRI) Competitive Grants Program. The purpose of this joint solicitation is to quantitatively investigate how climate change, climate variability, and land use change: (1) influence the establishment, abundance and distribution of invasive species; (2) interact with invasive species to create feedbacks that increase their success; (3) interact with invasive species to cause threshold responses in natural and managed systems; or (4) affect the chemical, biological and mechanical management of invasive species. The EPA is interested in proposals addressing aquatic ecosystems and the USDA in proposals addressing managed terrestrial systems.

For more information go to http://es.epa.gov/ncer/rfa/2007/2007_star_ecoimpacts.html. This program will be offered only once with this particular emphasis. It has a deadline of 26 June. Please circulate where appropriate.
