                                        Description and Application
Procedures




Description: Developing Countries Training Fellowships are intended for
scholars and advanced students from developing
countries seeking additional training in anthropology, to enhance their
skills or to expand or develop their areas of expertise.
Candidates may pursue either a course of study leading to a doctoral
degree or a specific postdoctoral non-degree plan for
obtaining advanced training, in any qualified institution in the world
where appropriate training is available. Support is not
normally provided for master's studies. Applications from students who
have already had extensive training abroad will receive
lower priority.

Applicants must be prepared to demonstrate (a) the unavailability of
such training in their Home Country, (b) their provisional
acceptance by a Host Institution that will provide such training, and
(c) their intention to return and work in the Home Country
upon completion of their training.

The applicant must have a Home Sponsor who is a member of the
institution with which he/she is affiliated in the Home
Country and a Host Sponsor who is a member of the institution in which
the candidate plans to pursue training. The Host
Sponsor must be willing to assume responsibility for overseeing the
candidate's training. Because the fellowship is intended as a
partnership with the Host Institution in providing the fellow's
training, it is expected that candidates will also be offered support
by the institution.

Amount and Duration of Awards: Awards are made for amounts up to $12,500
per year, for periods from six months to
three years.

Budgetary Guidelines: Developing Countries Training Fellowships may be
used to cover travel, living expenses, tuition,
student fees, insurance, books, and any other relevant categories of
expenditure. Aid is not provided for salary and/or fringe
benefits of applicant, family expenses, or institutional overhead.

Application Information: Inquiries should be made by means of a one-page
Summary Statement of Purpose. The statement
should briefly describe the following: 1) scholarly goals; 2) proposed
training plan to be undertaken; 3) institutional affiliation at
home and at intended institution abroad; 4) Host Sponsor at intended
institution abroad; 5) beginning date and estimated
duration of training; 6) estimated budget for studies/training; 8) other
sources of aid; 9) prospects for employment and research
upon return to Home Country. Please also include a copy of curriculum
vitae or brief biography. If a candidate is considered
eligible, application materials will be sent.

Deadline: Application should be initiated at least nine months in
advance of the anticipated starting date of training.
