Happy first week of school! Two opportunities for funding likely entered most graduate student inboxes today. In case you missed them, you can find them re-printed below. The GSA also has a Travel Reimbursement Grant, which we will be updating information for soon. Anticipate a November deadline for that grant. Ford Diversity Fellowship Deadline: November 14 - 17, 2011 Eligibility: U.S. Citizen or National, planning a career in teaching and research at the collegiate or university level in a research-based field of science, social science or humanities. Criteria: Please see the National Academies announcement at the link above. Graduate Travel Grants Program re-printed without modification. Deadline: September 30, 2011 (Fall) Criteria: 1) level of participation (e.g., delivering a paper or invited presentation or invited panel participation receives the highest consideration, poster presentations next, and general participation and attendance is least favored); 2) significance of the meeting (national and international conferences receive greater weight than local and regional meetings or workshops); 3) stage of progress toward degree (near-defense students receive higher priority); 4) strength of major professor’s recommendation with regard to professional development and ESF programs; 5) availability of matching funds (not required, but definitely helpful); 6) degree level, e.g., all other things being equal, PhD students receive first priority, MS second, MPS & MLA third.
Re-printed without modification. Location: Huntington Wildlife Forest Date: June 1 - 3, 2012 Deadline: Nov. 30, 2011 SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry’s Northern Forest Institute invites submissions for its first annual symposium of interdisciplinary scholarship in land use and ethics, to be held at Huntington Wildlife Forest, Newcomb, NY. We welcome research from across professions and disciplines on topics related to balancing individual and community priorities with respect to land use and the associated expectations for human and ecosystem stewardship and social and environmental ethics. Submissions should generate conversation around a variety of approaches to land use, the moral implications of these approaches, as well as the ways that they influence the ongoing debate over how to achieve social and environmental justice. Submissions from a range of disciplines and professional fields are encouraged.
A hearty welcome to all incoming and returning graduate students!
