[beasiswa] [INFO] ASEAN-US Science & Technology Fellowship Pilot Program

 

Dear Current and Alumni Fellows,
 
Please see details below about a new ASEAN-US Science Technology Fellows Pilot Program. This activity is inspired by, patterned after, and will be coordinated with the AAAS S&T Policy Fellowship Program.    As current and former AAAS Fellows we hope you will help us in getting information about this opportunity out to scientists from the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region.
 
This one-year fellowship will embed PhD scientists from ASEAN countries in home country ministries to promote the use of the best available science to inform the national and ASEAN regional policy process; advance ASEAN regional cooperation on science and technology; build institutional capacity within ASEAN and between ASEAN and the United States to study regional and transboundary issues; and, deepen people-to-people interaction between ASEAN and U.S. scientists. Thematic focus areas for the program include: Health, Climate Change, Food Security, Early warning systems for disaster risk reduction, Water Management, and Biodiversity. (Specific focus areas vary for the six participating countries, which are Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia.)

This is a unique opportunity for participating scientists to learn new skills, apply their knowledge to national and regional priorities, see how their governments work from the inside, and forge connections with S&T Fellows in other ASEAN countries, as well as with U.S. scientists.   Applications are due January 6, 2014.    
 
More information on the activity, eligibility, participating countries ministries, and how to apply can be found at:  http://www.usaid.gov/documents/1861/asean-us-science-and-technology-st-fellows-pilot-program-call-proposals
Our ability to expand this pilot activity will depend on having an excellent year 1 cohort!  
We greatly appreciate your assistance in directing this opportunity to ASEAN scientists that you think would be good candidates for this program!
many thanks,
Teresa
