West African Research Association: Residencies for West African ScholarsIn the interest of enhancing transatlantic exchange and collaboration, the West African Research Association introduces a new program of Residencies for West African Scholars in WARA member institutions. Each residency will last 4-8 weeks and will provide the visiting scholar with opportunities for library research, guest lecturing or teaching, and/or collaborative work with American colleagues. Applications are made by WARA member institutions on behalf of scholars based in West Africa whom they wish to host. WARA will pay the round-trip travel costs of the selected scholars as well as a stipend of $2,500 to cover their meals and local transport costs. Host institutions are encouraged to provide additional support (e.g. housing, conference participation) for the period of the residency. WARA will offer three (3) residencies in 2003. Interested member institutions should submit a proposal of a maximum of 5 double-spaced pages, profiling the visiting scholar they wish to host, his or her proposed residency activities, expected impact or outcome of the residency, and any additional contribution or support the institution can offer. Application materials should also include the visiting scholar's curriculum vitae and a letter of interest from the scholar, as well as a letter of support from a relevant administrator (dean, department chair, etc.) at the host institution. Please send one original and three copies of all materials. DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 1, 2002 for residencies to take place in Spring or Fall 2003. Notification will be made by 1 December.

Abstract: The William T. Grant Foundation announces its annual international competitive program to promote the research development of promising junior scholars in tenure-track positions whose research furthers the understanding of the development of adolescents and young adults and the conditions that enable these youth to reach their full potential. The foundation is interested in investigators who use the award to bring a broad and innovative focus to their research on youth, for example, those from diverse disciplines as well as those who are underrepresented in research on adolescence and young adulthood. Consistent with these aims, the foundation invests in original research in health, social, and behavioral sciences, such as anthropology, economics, education, health services, political science, demography, history, and sociology; in marketing and communications disciplines; and in those fields traditionally concerned with youth development and mental health, such as pediatrics, psychology, psychiatry, and social work.

While the Center does not engage in formulating actual policy, it is particularly interested in those projects that help provide the essential background against which issues of the day can be more thoroughly understood. Applications from any country are welcome. Men and women with outstanding capabilities and experience from a wide variety of backgrounds (including government, the corporate world, and the professions, as well as academia) are eligible for appointment. For academic participants, eligibility is limited to the postdoctoral level. It is expected that academic candidates will have demonstrated their scholarly development by publications beyond their doctoral dissertations. For other applicants, an equivalent level of professional achievement is expected. An applicant working on a degree at the time of application (even if the degree is to be awarded prior to the proposed fellowship year) is not eligible. All applicants should have a very good command of spoken English since the Center is designed to encourage the exchange of ideas among its fellows. Proposals that represent essentially advocacy are not eligible. Primary research in the natural sciences is not eligible, nor are projects that create musical composition, dance, or the visual arts. Further, the Center does not consider projects that represent essentially the rewriting of doctoral dissertations; the editing of texts, papers, or documents; or the preparation of textbooks, anthologies, translations, or memoirs. The Center devotes significant attention to the exploration of broad thematic areas. Primary themes are: 1) governance, including such issues as the key features of the development of democratic institutions, democratic society, civil society, and citizen participation; 2) the U.S. role in the world and issues of partnership and leadership-military, political, and economic dimensions; and 3) key long-term future challenges confronting the United States and the world. Priority will be given to proposals related to these themes. Within this framework, the Center also supports projects that provide the historical and/or cultural context for some of today's key public policy debates. Fellows are expected to be in residence for the entire U.S. academic year (September through May, i.e., 9 months), although a few fellowships are occasionally awarded for shorter periods with a minimum of four months. The Center does not award fellowships for the summer months (June, July, August). The Center tries to ensure that the stipend provided under the fellowship, together with the fellow's other sources of funding (e.g., grants secured by the applicant and sabbatical allowances), approximate a fellow's regular salary. Stipends provided in 2001 ranged from $29,500 to $73,000. In 2002-2003, the Center expects to be able to award a few fellowships at a higher stipend level, up to a maximum of $85,000. Stipends include round trip travel for fellows and for their spouses and dependent children who will reside with them during the entire fellowship period. In addition to stipends, the Center provides 75 percent of health insurance premiums for fellows and these accompanying family members. Fellows in residence will be affiliated with one of the Center's programs/projects. As of March 2002, these include the United States Studies Division and the International Studies Division and programs on Africa, Asia, Brazil, Canada, Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Russia and the former Soviet Union, and Western Europe; and projects on America and the Global Economy, Comparative Urban Studies, Conflict Prevention, Congress, Environmental Change and Security, Foresight and Governance, and History and Public Policy. Each fellow is assigned a furnished office available every day around the clock. The Center is located in the heart of Washington, D.C., and includes conference rooms, a reference library, and a fellows' dining room. The building is a smoke-free environment. Professional librarians provide access to the Library of Congress, university and special libraries in the area, and other research facilities. Windows-based personal computers or manuscript-typing services are available, and each fellow is offered a part-time research assistant. Although fellows are responsible for locating their own housing in the Washington, D.C. area, the Center provides written materials to help facilitate the search process. The Center holds one round of competitive selection per year. The deadline for receipt of fellowship applications is October 1, and decisions on appointments are announced by early April of the following year. Further information and application forms may be obtained from: Scholar Selection and Services Office
The Womanist Scholars Program is a component of the Black Women in Church and Society Program at the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta Georgia. The Womanist Scholars Program is one of a few much needed programs that provides affirming, creative, intellectual opportunity for womanist scholars to engage in scholarship that will impact the academy, church and community. To accomplish this, the program will appoint Black women, engaged in significant scholarly work on Black women and religion, and Black women and spirituality. The program is designed to assist scholars who are seeking sabbatical support, or support for a specific research project. Responsibilities The Womanist Scholars Program invites two black female scholars annually to do research in residence at ITC. The position is a one academic year, August thru May, full-time appointment. The Program enables womanist scholars to pursue a research project of the individual's design. Additionally, the scholar will teach one course in her research area, present a public lecture, and facilitate a womanist dialogue session during her residency. Eligibility Scholars whose research interest addresses Black women and religion, or Black women and spirituality, and who possess a Ph.D./Th.D., or its equivalent, in fields of religion, other humanities, or social sciences may apply. Senior scholars will be given priority though junior scholars are also encouraged to apply. Selection is based upon the proposed research project and the potential significance of the project for religious and academic life. Award The Program awards a stipend of $35,000, on-campus housing, and office space. Application Procedure Applicants must submit: a completed application form; a research prospectus (not to exceed 4 typed pages) which describes the intended research project, the proposed methodology, and its significance for the academic and theological communities; a narrative of your philosophy of and commitment to Womanist scholarship (1 page), a course proposal, a current curriculum vitae; a writing sample (published or unpublished) and three letters of reference. Deadline The application and supporting materials must be postmarked by December 6, 2002.
