Harvard University’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science Visiting Graduate Associates (Fellowship)
Graduate students from institutions other than Harvard may become graduate associates of the institute for one semester or an academic year through nomination by a faculty associate. The institute strongly favors those students who plan to collaborate with the institute’s faculty associates or intersect with its ongoing research projects.
Associated Grant Makers Diversity Fellowship Program
This fellowship program aims to inspire the next generation of philanthropic leaders among people of color by offering training and support to a select group of passionate, emerging professionals. We strive to increase the number and proportion of people of color as staff—and executives—in the field of philanthropy.
LMI Research Institute’s Distinguished Visiting Scholar
An LMI distinguished visiting scholar is the driving force, the intellectual leader of the research institute. By rotating this position among highly qualified individuals, LMI enables an ongoing stream of bright, fresh thinkers to continually build the organization through their unique strengths. These scholars infuse diverse perspectives and multidisciplinary excellence into the research institute so that it remains robust, effective, innovative and forward-oriented. The long-range objective is to create a singular community of leading researchers who together will shape and build one of the greatest sources of innovation serving the federal government.
U.S. Secretary of Labor’s New Freedom Initiative Award
To encourage the use of public-private partnerships, the Secretary of Labor's New Freedom Initiative Award, created in 2002, is made annually to individual(s), nonprofit organization(s) or business(es) that have, through programs or activities, demonstrated exemplary and innovative efforts in furthering the employment objectives of President George W. Bush's New Freedom Initiative. By increasing access to assistive technologies, and by utilizing innovative training, hiring and retention strategies, the recipient(s) will have established and instituted comprehensive strategies to enhance the ability of Americans with disabilities to enter and advance within the 21st-century workforce and to participate in daily community life.
The National Council of Teachers of English’s CCCC Research Initiative in Composition, Rhetoric, and Literacy
This effort, which will begin in late summer, supports two kinds of projects: syntheses and new investigations. Syntheses will bring together what the profession has already learned (but perhaps not yet published), through a variety of methodologies, with regard to the teaching and study of composition, rhetoric and literacy. The purposes of synthesis projects are to articulate what is known about the teaching of composition at this time and to provide a foundation for future research, for large grant proposals and for public policy discussions. New investigations will initiate research studies that have widespread value or strategic implications for teaching composition; such studies may be pilot in nature and preambles to larger grant proposals.
Foreign Affairs Canada Graduate Student Fellowship Program
The Graduate Student Fellowship Program promotes research that contributes to a better knowledge and understanding of Canada, its relationship with the United States and its international affairs. The grant is designed to give doctoral students an opportunity to conduct part of their research in Canada. The program welcomes efforts to integrate the research findings into the applicant's conference presentations.
The program welcomes submissions from all fields in the social sciences and humanities. We are particularly interested in projects that have policy relevance for Canada-U.S. relations as well as Canadian social, economic, political, security and quality-of-life issues. Topics particularly relevant to Canada-U.S. relations include trade and economics, defense and security cooperation, border management, energy, softwood lumber, environment and agriculture.
