Deadline- July 31, 2012
USAID and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) have announced a call for applications for doctoral dissertation research fellowships on the Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI).
The two organizations are co-sponsoring 3 dissertation-year fellowships to support research that complements and builds on the Index, which increases understanding of why women in developing countries face persistent obstacles and economic constraints to inclusion in the agriculture sector. The goals of the fellowships are to strengthen understanding and evidence of the WEAI; expand understanding of WEAI dynamics through complementary qualitative and ethnographic work; and support promising researchers interested in gender and agriculture.
Eligibility-
Applicants must be full-time Ph.D. students in the social sciences or humanities and complete all Ph.D. requirements except dissertation by the time the fellowship begins.
