Supports one year residential fellowships for doctoral candidates AND recent doctoral recipients in the humanities or social sciences, who are rewriting their dissertations for publication. Areas of research should complement the Center's interest in a multidisciplinary approach to the history of art. Stipends are $15,000 for predoctoral AND $20,000 for postdoctoral fellowships.
Program: Short-Term Grants in Russian Studies
Agency: Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies
Next Deadline: DEC 01, 1994
Awards support postdoctoral Russian studies scholars who wish to use the library resources of the Smithsonian AND the Library of Congress. Recent recipients of the Ph.D. are given preference. Stipend is $80 per day for up to one month of support. Visiting scholars must remain in the Washington, DC area AND forego other academic AND professional obligations for the duration of the grant.
Supports demonstration projects at institutions of higher education that seek to stimulate the involvement of students in community service. The program no longer requires a connection between students' service and a reduction in their financial aid debt. Projects should incorporate learning into the service opportunity and should solicit community input. Research projects that examine the effects of community service may also be funded. See the June 10, 1994 Federal Register for details.
Grants support research, demonstration, evaluation, and policy analysis projects in the areas of child development, pregnancy and birth outcomes, medical outcomes, and health care access. Center-Initiated Projects currently focus on health insurance coverage for young children. Grants usually average $50,000; a few multi-year grants range up to $300,000.
Program: National Research Service Awards-Senior Postdoctoral Fellowships
Agency: National Institutes of Health
Next Deadline: DEC 05, 1994
Awards are made for up to two years to individuals with at least seven years of relevant postdoctoral professional or research experience to make major changes in the direction of their research careers or to broaden their scientific background by acquiring new research capabilities. Proposed study must be full-time and include the conduct of research with supervision. Prior to submission, applicants must arrange for sponsorship by a private or public institution or federal laboratory. Consult contact for referral to appropriate institute.
Supports research that is in the formulative or embryonic state and that would appear to have significant potential to advance NASA's Space Science and Applications programs. Projects are typically interdisciplinary and have a speculative or risky character. Program runs on a three-year cycle: next solicitation is scheduled for publication in fall 1994 with a 90-day application deadline.
Program: Saltonstall-Kennedy Program to Strengthen the US Fishing Industry

Priority is given to activities that cannot be addressed by any single entity without government assistance. Support is not given to infrastructure planning and construction or port and harbor development. FY 95 competition TBA late September 1994 with a 60-day application deadline.
Program: Minority Postdoctoral Fellowships and Graduate Student Travel Award
Agency: National Science Foundation
Next Deadline: DEC 01, 1994
Fellowships support postdoctoral research in the biological sciences by scientists from minority groups underrepresented in science and engineering. Recent Ph.D.s (awarded the doctorate within four years of applying) conduct research under a “mentor” scientist at an appropriate U.S. or foreign institution (study abroad is strongly encouraged). Annual stipends of $28,000 are available for up to three years of research. Travel awards are also available for minority graduate students to visit laboratories. Deadline is always the first Friday in December.
