UC/ACCORD 2011 Fellowship Application
Beginning Feb. 16, UC/ACCORD will accept proposals for fellowships. The deadline to submit applications is March 18.
UC/ACCORD was established to engage University of California scholars in research that will support and inform Californians' efforts to replace prevailing patterns of schooling inequality and disparities in access to higher education with equitable conditions and outcomes for children from all sectors of our diverse state. To that end, UC/ACCORD announced a call for proposals in three categories:
- Dissertation Fellowships
- Postdoctoral Fellowships
- Faculty Seed Grants
WHO: UC doctoral students in their final year of dissertation, recent graduates (within two years of the time of graduation of the fellowship) with terminal degrees from UC institutions, and faculty in any field working on research consistent with UC/ACCORD's goal of making college a possibility for all California students, and increasing diversity within its institutions of higher education. Three key research areas include: (1) CRITICAL TRANSITIONS in the lives of underrepresented youth; (2) CRITICAL CONDITIONS for enhancing college opportunities; and (3) CRITICAL ISSUES related to making higher education more accessible.
WHAT: Interested candidates can submit their applications online at http://www.ucaccord.net. Applications must include a Title Page, Proposed Project Description, Methods and Curriculum Vitae. Faculty Seed Grant applicants must also include Proposed Budget.
SUBMISSIONS OPEN: UC/ACCORD will begin accepting applications on Wednesday, Feb. 16
DEADLINE: 5 p.m. Friday, March 18
