USA: The IBM Ph.D. Fellowship program is a worldwide competitive program.
The IBM Ph.D. Fellowship program for the 2008 -2009 academic year is now closed for nominations.
Intent
The IBM Ph.D. Fellowship Awards is an intensely competitive program which honors exceptional Ph.D. students in many academic disciplines and areas of study, for example: computer science and engineering, electrical and mechanical engineering , physical sciences (including chemistry, material sciences, and physics), mathematical sciences (including optimization), business sciences (including financial services, communication, and learning/knowledge), and service sciences, management, and engineering. Additionally, IBM pays special attention to an array of focus areas of interest to IBM and fundamental to innovation, including:
* Analytics
Optimization, data visualization, business intelligence, particularly social networks & analysis, information-based medicine, services and software to improve business performance
* Business transformation and services innovation
Labor based supply chains, SSME - Services Science, Management and Engineering
* Expressive ways of manipulating computers
HCI, programming models and tools, language understanding, ontology’s
* Information management and analysis
Real-time data analysis, information based medicine, data base technology
* Computing infrastructure
Management of computer centers virtualization, autonomic computing, power management
* Pervasive computing
Sensors and actuators
* High Performance Computing
Use of massive parallelism for non-scientific/engineering applications (including those applications), cell/multi-core, power management
The IBM Ph.D. Fellowship Awards program also supports our long-standing commitment to workforce diversity. IBM values diversity in the workplace and encourages nominations of women, minorities and all who contribute to that diversity.
Scope
The IBM Ph.D. Fellowships are awarded worldwide. IBM Ph.D. Fellows are awarded tuition, fees, and a stipend for one nine-month academic year. Stipends vary by country/geography and the student will be informed at the time of the award what the stipend is for their country/geography. All IBM Ph.D. Fellows are matched with an IBM Mentor according to their technical interests, and they are encouraged to intern at an IBM research or development laboratory under their Mentor’s guidance. An IBM ThinkPad is awarded during the internship. Internship assignments are designed to strengthen and broaden the Awardee’s technical experience and contacts. Interns are paid by their host site and will be subject to the prevailing terms and conditions of the internship program at that site. IBM is an equal opportunity employer.
IBM Ph.D. Fellowships are awarded for one nine-month academic year. After receiving an award, an Award Recipient may be renominated the following year for consideration to receive an IBM Ph.D. Fellowship again, based on the Award Recipient’s continued exceptional academic standing, progress and achievement, and sustained interaction with IBM’s technical community. A student may compete annually and be awarded a maximum of three years. IBM requests that a maximum of two nominations per department be submitted in addition to any renewal nominations.
Eligibility
Students must be nominated by a faculty member. They must be enrolled full-time in a college or university Ph.D. program, and they must have completed at least one year of study in their doctoral program at the time of their nomination. Award Recipients will be selected based on their overall potential for research excellence, the degree to which their technical interests align with those of IBM, and their academic progress to-date, as evidenced by publications and endorsements from their faculty advisor and department head. While students may accept other supplemental fellowships, to be eligible for the IBM Ph.D. Fellowship Award they may not accept a major fellowship in addition to the IBM Ph.D. Fellowship.

2008 International Dissertation Research Fellowships
Deadline: November 6, 2007 at 9pm EST
The International Dissertation Research Fellowship (IDRF) program supports distinguished graduate students in the humanities and social sciences conducting dissertation research outside the United States. Seventy-five fellowships will be awarded in 2008 with funds provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
The IDRF program is committed to scholarship that advances knowledge about non-U.S. cultures and societies grounded in empirical and site-specific research (involving fieldwork, research in archival or manuscript collections, or quantitative data collection). The program promotes research that is situated in a specific discipline and geographical region and is engaged with interdisciplinary and cross-regional perspectives.
Fellowships will provide support for nine to twelve months of dissertation research. Individual awards will be approximately $20,000. No awards will be made for proposals requiring less than nine months of on-site research. The 2008 IDRF fellowship must be held for a single continuous period within the eighteen months between July 2008 and December 2009.
The program is administered by the Social Science Research Council in partnership with the American Council of Learned Societies.
Eligibility
The program is open to full-time graduate students in the humanities and social sciences — regardless of citizenship — enrolled in doctoral programs in the United States. Applicants must complete all Ph.D. requirements except on-site research by the time the fellowship begins or by December 2008, whichever comes first.
The program invites proposals for empirical and site-specific dissertation research outside the United States. It will consider applications for dissertation research grounded in a single site, informed by broader cross-regional and interdisciplinary perspectives, as well as applications for multi-sited, comparative, and transregional research. Proposals that identify the US as a case for comparative inquiry are welcome; however, proposals which focus predominantly or exclusively on the United States are not eligible. Proposals may cover all periods in history, but must address topics that have relevance to contemporary issues and debates.
Students enrolled in Ph.D. programs in public policy, public health, and education, may be eligible to apply if their research projects engage directly with broader theoretical and analytical issues in the humanities and social sciences. The program does not accept applications from Ph.D. programs in law, business, medicine, nursing or journalism. Students who have already received nine months or more of support for dissertation research in one country are not eligible to apply to the IDRF to extend the research time in the same country.
Selection Criteria
The IDRF program is committed to scholarship that advances knowledge about non-U.S. cultures and societies and that is empirical and site specific (involving many kinds of fieldwork and surveys, research in archival or manuscript collections, or quantitative data collection). The program promotes research that is situated in a specific discipline and geographical region and is engaged with interdisciplinary and cross-regional perspectives. Proposals may cover all periods in history, but must address topics that have relevance to contemporary issues and debates.
The IDRF competition thus promotes a range of approaches and research designs beyond single site or single country research, including comparative work at the national and regional levels (that may in some cases rely on secondary literature) and explicit comparison of cases across time frames. The program is open to proposals informed by a range of methodologies in the humanities and social sciences, both quantitative and qualitative, that seek to answer research questions through sustained empirical, site-specific and source-driven investigations. The IDRF program will not support study at foreign universities, conference participation, short research trips abroad or projects relying primarily on labwork.
Applicants are expected to write in clear, intelligible prose for a selection committee that is multi-disciplinary and cross-regional. Proposals should display a thorough knowledge of the major concepts,theories, and methods in the applicant’s discipline and in other related fields as well as a bibliography relevant to the research. Applicants should specify why an extended period of on-site research is critical for successful completion of the proposed doctoral dissertation. The research design of proposals should be realistic in scope, clearly formulated, and responsive to theoretical and methodological concerns. Applicants should provide evidence of having attained an appropriate level of training to undertake the proposed research, including evidence of a degree of language fluency sufficient to complete the project.

Massachusetts Historical Society
The Massachusetts Historical Society (MHS) was founded in 1791 for the threefold purpose of collecting, preserving, and disseminating resources for the study of American history. It was the first institution anywhere to devote its attention primarily to collecting and publishing in the field. Today the society’s manuscripts form the centerpiece of its holdings. It has more than 12,000,000 manuscript items in 3,600 collections of personal papers and institutional records. These holdings cover such diverse subjects as the history of religion, law, education, and medicine; diplomacy and international commerce; the American Revolution and the Civil War; and Native American and women’s history. Although collections in the history of New England and in the period from colonization through the late 19th century are especially strong, the society also has significant materials for the study of the West Indies, Latin America, the China trade, and the 20th century.
The society’s collection of 200,000 published items complements its manuscript holdings. Printed materials include more than 20,000 broadsides, 30,000 18th- and 19th-century pamphlets, and 5,000 maps. The society also owns more than 150,000 microforms and 200,000 historic photographs as well as major collections of portraits, engravings, silhouettes, busts, and memorabilia. The staff does all it can to make the MHS a friendly, welcoming place for researchers. MHS-NEH fellows join a community that includes active scholars on the staff as well as more than thirty visiting scholars on short-term grants over the course of a typical year. A busy calendar of programs affords frequent opportunities to meet with scholars from across New England. The society hosts three ongoing seminar series — in early American history, immigration and urban history, and environmental history — as well as frequent brown-bag lunches at which fellows and other researchers discuss their work. Many years the MHS also holds a major conference: recent topics have included Transcendentalism, immigration to Massachusetts, the intellectual life of Ralph Waldo Emerson, women’s role in modern warfare, and the environmental history of Boston. The MHS will award at least two MHS-NEH fellowships for 2008-2009. For additional information or to apply, contact the Massachusetts Historical Society.

RSM Fellowships Program
Background
The Robert S. McNamara Fellowships Program was established in 1982 by a resolution of the Executive Directors to "award fellowships for full-time study or research at the postgraduate level in fields related to economic development, to be carried out at a recognized institution in a Bank member country other than the applicant's home country". In December 1993, through a resolution by the Executive Directors whereby the Program was restructured, fellows were allowed to conduct their research in their home country. The award amount was fixed at US$7,500 to cover research costs through the twelve months fellowship period.
Funding for the Program was provided by US$1 million contribution from the World Bank and US$1.8 million from the governments of Bangladesh, China, India, Kuwait, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, and Yugoslavia. The interest from the endowment funds, almost US$200,000 a year, was used to sponsor about 16 scholars a year (US$142,000) and a workshop for the fellows in Washington, D.C. (US$50,000).
Since the inception of the Program in 1982, 247 fellowships have been granted to fellows from a pool of about 9,000 applicants representing all regions of the World Bank. The fellows have conducted research on a wide variety of topics in development related fields. The Program has achieved wide recognition, especially in developing countries, and has also become well known inside the World Bank, especially with recent efforts to link its research topics to the World Development Report (WDR).
The Program has supported a broad mix of fellows, ranging from promising young men and women on the threshold of their careers to some of the most distinguished thinkers in the field of development. The Program's alumni include a number of eminent academics, policymakers, and leaders of civil society. The Program's Tracer Studies reveal a strong application of McNamara research in subsequent research initiative of the alumni.
Nearly 170 research institutions from over 70 different countries have collaborated with the Fellowships Program. The Program has disseminated the research information through publications
While the Program provides support and encouragement to promising fellows, it has not been able to attract applicants with the highest potential who seem to be more interested in research associated with earning a degree.
Restructuring the Program into a Degree Program
A pragmatic approach to contribute to human resource development in developing countries, and contain administrative costs, would be to restructure the Robert S. McNamara Fellowships Program into a degree program. Because a full degree program is valued much more highly in developing countries, it will attract highly qualified candidates. This would require establishing a partnership program with one or more universities to offer a masters degree in public policy or development economics. A host institution would be required to jointly sponsor up to fifteen Robert S. McNamara fellows a year, funded by approximately US$200,000 from the Robert S. McNamara Fellowships Program and a matching grant from the selected institution.
The Program has been restructurated into a master's degree in public policy at Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University.

Albright Institute of Archaeological Research
The W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem (AIAR) was originally established as the principal overseas center of the American Schools of Oriental Research (ASOR), founded in 1900. In 1970, AIAR was incorporated as an independent institution and renamed after its most distinguished director, W. F. Albright. Since then, AIAR, one of ASOR’s three affiliated centers, has continued the American Schools’ tradition of promoting and supporting resident doctoral and post-doctoral research in Near Eastern studies from pre-history through the early Islamic period in archaeology, anthropology, art history, Bible, epigraphy, historical geography, history, language, literature, philology and religion and related disciplines.
The Albright Institute, located near the Old City of Jerusalem, includes a research library, workshops, computer facilities, and a residence with a hostel and apartments. The living accommodations provide rooms for thirty people, a served dinner, self-service breakfast, and a garden area for tea and coffee, which is also used for receptions. The library, dedicated to ancient Near Eastern studies, contains more than 28,500 volumes, over 600 journal titles, and significant map and artifact collections. In addition to administrative and library computers, the fellows have access to a wide range of hardware and software programs, and the hostel rooms are wired for web access and e-mail communications.
The Albright’s annual program is composed of a series of more than 85 lectures, reports, seminars, workshops, field trips, and social events organized according to its fellows’ interests. More than fifty-three fellows from the United States, Europe, and around the world—as well as those from the Israeli and Palestinian academic communities—participate mainly as long-term research appointees. AIAR also serves as a support base for numerous short-term scholars and visitors and for a large number of staff, student, and volunteer participants in the twenty-four annual excavation and publication projects affiliated with ASOR. AIAR conducts, with the Hebrew University, a joint excavation and publication project on the Philistine site of Tel Miqne-Ekron. It is also the organizing institution for an international research project, The Neo-Assyrian Empire in the 7th Century BC: A Study of the Interaction between Center and Periphery. This project, under the aegis of the Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC), involves 50 scholars working in Bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Spain, Syria, Tunisia, and Turkey. The Albright annually awards up to four NEH fellowships, for periods ranging from four to twelve months, with a maximum grant of $40,000 for 12 months and $20,000 for 6 months.

Fellowship in General Internal Medicine:Emphasis on Obesity Research
Hopkins GIM encourages applicants who would like a post-doctoral fellowship with a special emphasis on obesity research. At Johns Hopkins, the GIM Division is home to a critical mass of multidisciplinary researchers who study obesity and related conditions (e.g., type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and cancer risk) from a variety of perspectives, including epidemiology, prevention, clinical trials, community-based projects, and health services research. In addition to regular GIM Fellowship conferences, there is a weekly journal club/research conference on obesity to brainstorm new ideas for research and keep fellows up-to-date.
Hopkins GIM faculty with NIH funding to conduct obesity-related research include: Larry Appel (clinical trials, lifestyle modification), Diane Becker (community studies, heart disease), Fred Brancati (type 2 diabetes), Felicia Hill-Briggs (behavioral medicine), Jeanne Clark (fatty liver disease, bariatric surgery), Gail Daumit (obesity and mental illness), Tiffany Gary (social epidemiology and health disparities), Eliseo Guallar (environmental epidemiology), and Hunter Young (obesity and high blood pressure).
In addition, there are established collaborations with other Divisions of the Department of Medicine (Cardiology, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Pulmonary), other departments within the School of Medicine (OB/Gyn, Pathology, Radiology, Surgery), and with the School of Public Health (Epidemiology, Health Policy and Management and Human Nutrition) and the School of Nursing.
Projects for GIM Fellows with a special emphasis in Obesity Research might include:
* Ancillary studies or subsidiary analyses to ongoing or recently completed clinical weight loss trials including:
-Achieving Healthy Lifestyles in Psych Rehabilitation (ACHIEVE)
-Diabetes Prevention Program and Outcomes Study (DPP and DPPOS)
-Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes)
-PREMIER
-Weight Loss Maintenance
* Epidemiologic studies using public use databases (such as NHANES)
* Health services research using administrative databases
* Original studies in primary care practices affiliated with Johns Hopkins Medicine
* Meta-analyses of published articles; Evidence-based practice reviews
Applicants interested in obesity research should specify this interest in the cover letter of the application for the General Internal Medicine Fellowship.
