Other Fellowship and Grant Opportunities

The American Anthropological Association Minority Dissertation Fellowship is intended to increase the number of PhDs in anthropology among persons from historically underrepresented populations. This program's focus is to increase the number of ethnic minorities who complete doctoral degrees in anthropology and thus improve diversity in the discipline and promote research on issues of concern among minority populations. Dissertation topics in all areas of the discipline are welcome. The implications of the awardee's research to issues and concerns of the US historically disadvantaged populations, relevant service to the community and future plans are of specific concern in the review process. African American, Alaskan Native, American Indian or Native American, Asian American, Latino/a, Chicano/a, and Pacific Islander doctoral students who have been admitted to degree candidacy are urged to apply.

The two categories of the AAAS Mentor Awards (Lifetime Mentor Award and Mentor Award) both honor individuals who during their careers demonstrate extraordinary leadership to increase the participation of underrepresented groups in science and engineering fields and careers. These groups include: women of all racial or ethnic groups; African American, Native American, and Hispanic men; and people with disabilities. Both awards recognize an individual who has mentored and guided significant numbers of students from underrepresented groups to the completion of doctoral studies or who has impacted the climate of a department, college, or institution to significantly increase the diversity of students pursuing and completing doctoral studies.

Fellows serve in the Congress, the Department of Homeland Security, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Department of State, the Department of Defense, the Agency for International Development, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration, and other federal offices.

The AAAS plans to feature exceptional scientific research in all fields by undergraduate and graduate students in a special poster session at the AAAS Annual Meeting. A panel of distinguished scientists will evaluate the student posters and award monetary prizes for the top presentations in each of four categories: life science, physical science, social sciences (includes education), and computers and engineering. Winners will also receive a complimentary one-year subscription to SCIENCE magazine. The work presented must be the entrant's own research and not the product of a research team to which they only partially contributed.
