Postdoctoral Research Leave Fellowship:  $30,000; Dissertation Fellowship:  $20,000; Summer/Short-Term Research Publication Grant:  $6,000

American Fellowships support women doctoral candidates completing dissertations or scholars seeking funds for postdoctoral research leave from accredited institutions. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Candidates are evaluated on the basis of scholarly excellence, teaching experience, and active commitment to helping women and girls through service in their communities, professions, or fields of research.

 

Candidates may apply for only one of the following awards: Postdoctoral Research Leave Fellowships, Dissertation Fellowships, Summer/Short-Term Research Publication Grants. Former recipients of these awards are not eligible to apply for additional American Fellowships or publication grants.

The primary purpose of the Postdoctoral Research Leave Fellowship is to increase the number of women in tenure-track faculty positions and to promote equality for women in higher education. This fellowship is designed to assist the candidate in obtaining tenure and further promotions by enabling her to spend a year pursuing independent research. American Postdoctoral Research Leave Fellowship applicants must hold a doctorate classified as a research degree (e.g., Ph.D., Ed.D., D.B.A., D.M.) or an M.F.A at the time of application. Tenured professors are not eligible.

 

The purpose of the Dissertation Fellowship is to offset a scholar’s living expenses while she completes her dissertation. The American Dissertation Fellowship must be used for the final year of writing the dissertation. Applicants must have completed all coursework, passed all preliminary exams, and had the dissertation research proposal or plan approved by November 15, 2016. The doctoral degree/dissertation must be completed between April 1 and June 30, 2018. Degree conferral must be between April 1 and September 15, 2018.

 

Summer/Short-Term Research Publication Grants provide support to scholars to prepare research manuscripts for publication and to independent researchers to prepare research for publication. Preference will be given to applicants whose work supports the vision of AAUW: to break through educational and economic barriers so that all women have a fair chance. Applicants may be tenure track, part-time, or temporary faculty or new or established scholars and researchers at universities. Time must be available for eight consecutive weeks of final writing, editing, and responding to issues raised in critical reviews. Funds cannot be used for undertaking research. Applicants must have received their doctorates by the application deadline. Scholars with strong publishing records should seek other funding.

 

 

 

 

The $8500 Fellowship stipend/grant is intended to offset living expenses for the period and not intended as a way to earn money.

Graduate and professional school students and those who have completed graduate studies (degree awarded) within the last five years may apply. Areas of study may include social/behavioral sciences, health and medicine, physical or biological sciences, engineering, law/business/public administration, or relevant interdisciplinary fields.

The Christine Mirzayan Science & Technology Policy Graduate Fellowship Program, now in its 19th year, provides early career individuals with the opportunity to spend 12 weeks at the Academies in Washington, DC learning about science and technology policy and the role that scientists and engineers play in advising the nation.

Faculty for the Future fellowships are awarded to women from developing and emerging economies who are preparing for PhD or post-doctoral study in the physical sciences, engineering, or related disciplines to pursue advanced graduate study at top universities in their disciplines abroad.

The long-term goal of the Faculty for the Future program is to generate conditions that result in more women pursuing scientific disciplines. Grant recipients are therefore selected as much for their leadership capabilities as for their scientific talents, and they are expected to return to their home countries to continue their academic careers and inspire other young women.

First Prize: $2,000.00 + $ 500 travel assistance + $ 500 to the department for support of future design teams Second Prize: $1,500.00 + $ 500 travel assistance Third Prize: $1,000.00 + $ 500 travel assistance

1. Design projects may be submitted by teams (with two or more students) from any undergraduate university engineering program (e.g., materials science and engineering, metallurgy, metallurgical engineering, ceramic engineering, and polymer engineering, or related programs, including but not limited to mechanical-, chemical-, electrical-, or bio-engineering).

 

2. Projects may be based on work performed as part of the capstone design course or a team project performed by undergraduate students at any level. However, the submitted projects must address the broad definition of “design” as stated above. Interdisciplinary teams with members from various engineering and science disciplines are encouraged to submit their entries.

 

3. Only one entry may be submitted per university.  The university’s faculty advisor for the Student Chapter of ASM International or ASM International headquarters (see contact information below) should be contacted to make sure that only entry is submitted/university.  If multiple entries are received from a single university, all entries will be rejected.

 

4. Please note! These projects should not be a summary ("rehash") of the existing literature.  The team should show clear evidence of innovative and original work.

 

This competition is based on the submission of design-focused project reports that describe work that was performed as part of the capstone course or as a team project by undergraduate engineering students at any level. Recognizing the diversity of design curricula in materials and related engineering departments, a broad definition of "design" is considered for this competition.

Each of the six recipients of the Brower Youth Awards will receive a $3,000 cash prize, a professionally produced short film about their work from an Emmy award winning film crew, and flight and lodging accommodations for a week long trip to the San Francisco Bay Area. During their stay in California, the recipients will participate in a camping trip, leadership activities, speaking and media engagements, and trainings and environmental conferences giving them a chance to meet with mentors and peers. We invest in their continued success by providing ongoing access to resources, mentors, and opportunities to develop leadership skills.

The Brower Youth Awards recognize people ages 13 to 22 (as of July 1) living in North America who have shown outstanding leadership on a project or campaign with positive environmental and social impact.   

Since 2000, the Brower Youth Award has recognized outstanding youth leaders who are making strides in the environmental movement. Under the umbrella of the New Leaders Initiative, the Brower Youth Awards provides an elevated platform to showcase and honor the accomplishments of young environmental leaders. Each year, six young people based in North America are awarded the prize, joining a growing and diverse cadre of green leaders who are publicly recognized for their sustainable projects, innovative ideas, and informed analyses. We gauge impact by how your efforts benefited the environment and community in terms of measurable results (e.g. acres of wildlife habitat protected or restored, number of people engaged in social issues because of the project, numbers of children no longer exposed to toxins, etc.), as well as movement-building and raising awareness.
