Alcoa Foundation's Conservation and Sustainability Fellowship Program: Announcement of the Second Practitioner Fellowship Competition
With IIE as its administrative partner, the Alcoa Foundation has launched a unique signature fellowship program to advance knowledge in the field of conservation and sustainability. Fellowships are being offered to outstanding academics and practitioners from non-governmental organizations (NGOs). For more information, please visit: http://www.alcoa.com/sustainability.
Alcoa Foundation is announcing the opening of the second global competition for Practitioner Fellowships. Practitioner Fellowships are designed to provide a non-degree opportunity for qualified mid-level individuals from NGOs with a chance to conduct six-month long intensive applied research projects in conservation and sustainability, under the mentoring of an expert in the field.
Practitioner Fellows will be mentored by experts from Sustainability Institutes selected as partners in the Fellowship Program. Twelve six-month Fellowships will be awarded in each year in 2005-2009. Each Fellow will receive a six-month grant of $12,500 for research and travel expenses.
Three Sustainability Institutes will mentor 4 Practitioner Fellows each as they complete six-month research projects in their home countries. The three sustainability Institutes are: IUCN - The World Conservation Union in Gland,
Switzerland; Tecnológico de Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico; and the World Wildlife Fund in Washington, DC.
