[sarah anderson]

Some of you may be interested in this grant possibility.

>>The MacArthur Foundation is inviting proposals for its Program on Global 
>>Security and Sustainability Research and Writing Competition.  These 
>>grants to individuals and two-person teams are intended to support 
>>projects that explore the development of improved understanding of global 
>>security and sustainability, and to broaden and strengthen the community 
>>of scholars.  The Foundation invites proposals relating to either one of 
>>the following themes:
>>
>>Migration and Refugees:  The causes and consequences of migration, and 
>>policy responses to migrants and refugees, particularly as these impact 
>>issues of conservation and sustainable development, reproductive health 
>>and human rights, and governance and security. Proposals that examine 
>>these issues from a cross-disciplinary perspective are especially welcome.
>>
>>Technological Change and Global Security and Sustainability:  How public 
>>policy either shapes or responds to technological change - and related 
>>social and economic issues - with a particular emphasis on policy-making 
>>institutions, treaty regimes, or NGOs operating on an international scale.
>>
>>The program seeks to support research and writing projects in any 
>>academic discipline or profession, as well as creative work conducted 
>>outside of traditional disciplinary and professional approaches. Grants 
>>may be used in university and organizational settings or may support 
>>independent researchers. Projects related to research or writing of the 
>>doctoral dissertation are not eligible.  Projects that deal with 
>>exclusively U.S.-based topics will not be considered, unless the topic 
>>has significant international dimensions.
>>
>>There is no limit on the number of applications from any single 
>>institution.  The total proposed budget cannot exceed $75,000 for 
>>individual researchers and $100,000 for two-person teams.  There is an 
>>advantage in submitting proposals for projects that have not already 
>>received substantial funding from other sources.  Applications must be 
>>received by the foundation by February 2, 2004.
