</font><font face="Verdana" size=5>THE MELLON-MIT INTER-UNIVERSITY
PROGRAM ON NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS (NGOs) AND FORCED
MIGRATION<br><br>
</font></div>
<font face="Verdana">Purpose: </b>To stimulate applied research and
training on policy issues that concern NGOs working with refugees and the
internally displaced; to promote dialogue between NGOs and researchers at
qualified institutions: Boston University, the Fletcher School of Law and
Diplomacy, Harvard University, MIT, Tufts University, and Wellesley
College. <br><br>
<b>Approach:</b> Applicants are encouraged to develop their proposals in
collaboration with one or more NGOs actively interested in a proposed
research topic. Oxfam America, CARE, Catholic Relief Services, Grassroots
International, The International Rescue Committee, Save the Children,
World Education, and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees (UNHCR) are amongst the organizations that have worked with
grantees on research topics of mutual concern. <br><br>
<b>Awards </b>range from $4,000 to $6,000 for graduate student research
projects and up to $10,000 for faculty or senior researchers. Grants may
be used alone or in conjunction with other funding sources for purposes
such as travel, materials, research expenses, student "research
internships" in NGO/UNHCR settings, or the organization of workshops
on topics related to the overall objectives of the Program. <br><br>
