Fellowships for International Training and Collaboration

Sponsor - EMS

The Environmental Mutagen Society provides several training fellowships in the Alexander Hollaender Scientists Training Fellowship program. The fellowship provides $3000 per scientist to cover travel and some local expenses for training in a laboratory in North America. Typically, the scientists will work in a laboratory for 2 - 3 months to learn specific techniques in the field of environmental mutagenesis. Scientists may stay for a longer period of time if other supports can be found. Interested scientists are requested to submit application materials to William.au@utmb.edu (or by fax to William Au at 409-772-9108). A subcommittee will be set up to review the applications. The application materials should have 4 pages with the following information:

A one-page description of the project for training and, if possible, an indication of the scientists in North America who can provide the training.
A one-page description of how to incorporate the expertise from the training to enhance the ongoing project/career of the applicant.
A two-page description of the applicant’s curriculum vitae that includes personal information, educational background, professional background, and training and publication records.

Sponsor - University of Texas

The Department of Human Biological Chemistry and Genetics, and the Sealy Center for Molecular Science at the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas has several fellowships of $3000 each for the development of international collaborative projects. The fellowships will be open to scientists from any country who are interested in developing bilateral collaborative projects with scientists in the university. These international scientists will receive the fellowship to work with specific scientist(s) in the university for 2 - 3 months to develop collaborative projects. Interested scientists are requested to submit application materials to William.au@utmb.edu (or by fax to William Au at 409-772-9108). The applications should have 4 pages with the following information:

A one-page description of the proposed collaborative project that is consistent with the expertise of scientist(s) in the university (www.hbcg.utmb.edu), and include the name(s) of the scientist(s) for the collaboration.
A one-page description of the current scientific program of the applicant and how will the collaboration enhance the program.
A two-page description of the applicant’s curriculum vitae that includes personal information, educational background, professional background, and training and publication records.

Sponsor - Sealy Center/University of Texas

1) The Sealy Center for Environmental Health and Medicine, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas provides several fellowships of $6000 each for the development of international collaborative projects. The fellowships will be open to scientists from any country who are interested in developing bilateral collaborative projects with scientists in the Center. These international scientists will receive the fellowship to work with specific scientist(s) in the Center for 3 - 5 months to develop collaborative projects. Interested scientists are requested to submit application materials to William.au@utmb.edu (or by fax to William Au at 409-772-9108). The applications should have 6 pages with the following information:

A 3-page description of the project highlighting the objectives and significance of the project, expertise and resources from both partners, and name(s) of the collaborating member(s) in the center (see description of the Center below).
A 2-page curriculum vitae showing personal information, educational background, professional history and publication record.
A statement indicating the appropriate time and duration for the visit to the center.

2) The Sealy Center for Environmental Health and Medicine, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas, USA has initiated an international collaborative program. The objective of the program is to promote the development of new and innovative collaborative projects between foreign scientists who are active in scientific research and scientists at SCEHM. The development of the collaboration is based on a one-on-one interaction between the two scientists who have complimentary expertise and common research interest. The long-term goal is the development of funded and sustainable collaborations on environmental health and medicine with international scientists.

I request that you take a few minutes to review the website for the announcement (http://www.utmb.edu/scehm/isop.htm) and to encourage qualified (non-US) scientists to apply for the collaborative program. The application materials should be sent to me for consideration.
