for a Davis Projects for Peace $10,000 fellowship!<br>
</b><br>
Davis Projects for Peace is offering a $10,000 fellowship for an MIT
undergraduate student project that promotes peace, to be implemented
in the summer of 2010, anywhere in the world. The aim is to
"help young people launch some immediate initiatives that could
bring new thinking to the prospects for peace in the world."
MIT will select several compelling proposals to send forward,
and at least one is guaranteed to be funded! Think creatively,
innovatively, and entrepreneurially -- this is a chance to formulate
and test ideas for peace.<br>
<br>
Proposals should be emailed to</font> <a href=""><font face="Arial"
color="#0000FF"><u>davis-peace@mit.edu</u></font></a><font
face="Arial"> by 9:00am on Friday, February 5.<br>
<br>
**Update 1** A Boston-based non-profit organization, Peace in
Focus</font> <a href="http://peaceinfocus.org/"><font face="Arial"
color="#0000FF"><u>http://peaceinfocus.org/</u></font></a><font
face="Arial">, is interested in brainstorming ideas for projects
involving youth, digital photography/multimedia, storytelling,
conflict resolution, and activism, particularly as part of an
afterschool program in Roxbury this spring, or in two-week youth
training institutes this summer both in Boston and in Africa. Contact

face="Arial"> to set-up a meeting.<br>
<br>
Details:<br>
<br>
You'll need to submit the following:<br>
-- a detailed two-page, single-spaced proposal (who, what, when,
where, how, anticipated outcomes) that includes confirmation of the
participation of any partner organizations or people<br>
-- a detailed one-page budget for carrying out the project in summer
2010<br>
<br>
Here are some useful guidelines:<br>
<br>
-- Your submission should be sent as .doc (the budget can be .xls or
.doc) NOT .pdf, docx, etc.<br>
-- Competitive proposals will be visually appealing (nicely formatted)
and clearly written, communicating well-planned, innovative
projects<br>
-- The relevance to peace should be strong and clearly articulated<br>
<br>
Proposals will be judged using these criteria:<br>
-- strong and clearly articulated relevance to peace<br>
-- creativity and innovation<br>
-- potential for impact<br>
-- feasibility (showing that the team can accomplish the work within
the required time frame, using the available funding)<br>
-- well thought and presented budget: detailed, realistic, and
practical<br>
<br>
If your proposal is selected, we will help you refine it. You
should be available to make final revisions before February 10.<br>
