These stresses may include contaminants, habitat loss or atlerations, and introduced species. EPA defines wildlife to include birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles. Deadline - October 17, 2000. The Rockefeller Foundation Humanities Fellowships support scholars and writers engaged in research on global social and cultural issues relating to diversity, sustainability and civil society at institutions in North and South America that foster such work. In 2001-2002, the fellowships will be offered as residencies in 26 locations and 9 new institutions will be chosen as residency sites to host visiting scholars.
Deadlines vary by program.
The Foundation also invites applications from universities to submit an institutional application. Arrangements for fellows may be structured in a variety of ways, but they should always aim to promote sustained interaction between the visiting fellows and the scholarly community of the host institution. Residencies will generally involve some commitment of time by visiting scholars to host-institution activities such as seminars, conferences, exhibitions or community functions, but fellows should not be expected to teach. Resident scholars should devote most of their time to their own research projects. The goals of this program are to support research on plant genomics, and to accelerate the acquisition and utilization of new knowledge and innovative approaches to elucidate fundamental biological processes in plants.
