The ACS DAC awards fellowships for graduate students in analytical chemistry. The purposes of these fellowships are to encourage basic research in the field of analytical chemistry, to promote the growth of analytical chemistry in academic institutions and industry, and to provide recognition of future leaders in the field of analytical chemistry. Both nine-month and summer fellowships are available. Most applicants apply for both awards unless mitigating circumstances (previous summer commitments, impending completion of degree requirements, etc.) exist.

Nine-month fellowships provide for nine months of graduate study and research in analytical chemistry at any ACS accredited institution of the appointee's choice. The fellowship may not be accepted concurrently with any other external fellowship. Because the purpose of the fellowship is to provide opportunity for research, the holder will not engage in outside work for added compensation during the period of the fellowship. It is expected that the fellow will be engaged in full-time research for the duration of the fellowship and be in residence at the home institution (except when performing collaborative experiments that are part of the funded project).
Summer fellowships provide stipends to support research in analytical chemistry during the summer months.

eligibility

The student applicant must be a full-time student working toward a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry and must have completed the the second year of graduate study by the time the fellowship period begins. The applicant should be enrolled in a department of chemistry with a Ph.D. program in analytical chemistry; his or her dissertation research must be supervised by an analytical chemistry faculty member. The applicant's research supervisor must be a member of the ACS DAC. Only one nomination per research supervisor will be accepted.

Student applicants must demonstrate outstanding research ability and accomplishment, as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications in analytical chemistry. Consequently, the fellowships are normally awarded to students in their third or fourth years of graduate study when they have established a publication record. Applicants for summer 2009 fellowships must not have completed their thesis research before September 1, 2009. Applicants for 2009-2010 nine-month fellowships must not have completed their thesis research before March 1, 2010.

Designed to help graduate students in the humanities and social sciences formulate doctoral dissertation proposals that are intellectually pointed, amenable to completion in a reasonable time frame, the DPDF program is designed to intervene at a critical moment in the career development of graduate students in the humanities and social sciences by aiding their transition from students to researchers. The program is organized around distinct “research fields,” subdisciplinary and interdisciplinary domains with common intellectual questions and styles of research.

eligibility

Graduate students in the early phase of their research, generally 2nd and 3rd years, apply to one of five research fields led by the two directors. Each year, a Social Science Research Council (SSRC) faculty committee selects five fields proposed by pairs of research directors who are tenured professors at different U.S. universities. The annually selected research fields are found at the above website. Commitment: Each research group is made up of ten to twelve graduate students. Graduate student fellows participate in two workshops, one in the late spring that helps prepare them to undertake pre-dissertation research on their topics; and one in the early fall, designed to help them synthesize their summer research and to draft proposals for dissertation funding.

The Math and Science Partnership (MSP) program is a major research and development effort that supports innovative partnerships to improve K-12 student achievement in mathematics and science. MSP projects are expected to raise the achievement levels of all students and significantly reduce achievement gaps in the mathematics and science performance of diverse student populations. In order to improve the mathematics and science achievement of the Nation's students, MSP projects contribute to what is known in mathematics and science education and serve as models that have a sufficiently strong evidence/research base to improve the mathematics and science education outcomes for all students. NSF's MSP program coordinates its effort with the Mathematics and Science Partnerships program of the U.S. Department of Education in the expectation that effective innovations in mathematics and science education will be disseminated into wider practice. The two programs are significant components of the America COMPETES Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-69).

eligibility

Lead partner eligibility for any of the Partnership categories - Targeted, Institute, MSP-Start, or Phase II - is limited to an institution of higher education or an eligible nonprofit organization (or consortia of such institutions or organizations).

The RDE program seeks to broaden the participation and achievement of people with disabilities in all fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and associated professional careers. Particular emphasis is placed on contributing to the knowledge base by addressing disability related differences in secondary and postsecondary STEM learning and in the educational, social and pre-professional experiences that influence student interest, academic performance, retention in STEM degree programs, STEM degree completion, and career choices. Projects also investigate effective practices for transitioning students with disabilities across critical academic junctures, retaining students in undergraduate and graduate STEM degree programs, and graduating students with STEM associate, baccalaureate and graduate degrees. Research project results inform the delivery of innovative, transformative and successful practices employed by the Alliances for Students with Disabilities in STEM to increase the number of students with disabilities completing associate, undergraduate and graduate degrees in STEM and to increase the number of students with disabilities entering our nation's science and engineering workforce. RDE projects contribute to closing the gaps occurring for people with disabilities in STEM fields by successfully disseminating findings, project evaluation results, and proven good practices and products to the public.

The Social Science Research Council (SSRC) provides a number of fellowship and grant opportunities for support and professional recognition to innovators within fields, and especially to younger researchers whose work and ideas will have longer-term impact on society and scholarship. Most support from the Council goes to predissertation, dissertation, and postdoctoral fellowships, offered through annual, peer-reviewed competitions. Some programs offer summer institutes, advanced research grants, and grants for professionals and practitioners to conduct research. Most support individual researchers, rather than groups or institutions. Although SSRC fellowship and grant programs take a variety of forms, they share the goals of supporting innovative knowledge production and of building research capacity in areas of critical social importance.

The Social Science Research Council (SSRC) is an independent, nonprofit organization that seeks to advance social science throughout the world and supports research, education, and scholarly exchange on every continent. The Dissertation Proposal Development Fellowship (DPDF) is a strategic fellowship program designed to help graduate students in the humanities and social sciences formulate doctoral dissertation proposals that are intellectually pointed, amenable to completion in a reasonable time frame, and competitive in fellowship competitions. Funding for the program is provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The program is organized around distinct "research fields," subdisciplinary and interdisciplinary domains with common intellectual questions and styles of research. Each year, an SSRC Faculty Advisory Committee selects five fields proposed by pairs of research directors who are tenured professors at different doctoral degree-granting programs at U.S. universities.

Graduate students in the early phase of their research, generally second and third years, apply to one of five research fields led by the two directors; each group is made up of 10 to 12 graduate students. Fellows participate in two workshops, one in the late spring that helps prepare them to undertake predissertation research on their topics; and one in the early fall, designed to help them synthesize their summer research and to draft proposals for dissertation funding.

Through the W.E.B. DuBois Fellowship Program, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) seeks to advance the field of knowledge with respect to the confluence of crime, justice, and culture in various societal contexts. NIJ supports the investigation, analysis, and development of innovative approaches that enhance justice and advance public policy decision making on issues relating to crime, violence, and the administration of justice. Recognizing the dynamic influence of community factors on the aforementioned issues, NIJ has included in its research portfolio a body of work that explores diverse cultural perspectives in order to address criminal justice research questions. DuBois Fellows will be asked to focus on these questions in a manner that is policy relevant and reflective of their saliency as an integral part of the American past, present, and future. The DuBois Fellowship provides talented researchers with the opportunity to elevate independently-generated research and ideas to the level of national discussion.

eligibility

To be eligible to receive an award under the DuBois Fellowship program, an applicant must hold a Ph.D. or other doctoral-level degree or a legal degree of J.D. or higher.
