Continuing request: REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ABOUT GRANTS & FELLOWSHIPS FOR STUDENTS & PROFESSIONALS IN NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT & INTERNATIONAL FORESTRY FOR A FREE* GUIDE BOOK. Hello; I am in the process of collecting GRANT & FELLOWSHIP information while rewriting, and updating the following internationally distributed, free publication of the US Forest Service (USDA) and US-AID: Drilling, M. E., Durst, P. B., and M. Swisher. 1993. A Guide to Grants and Fellowships in International Forestry and Natural Resources. 2nd. Edition. USDA (USFS-IF & OICD) and USAID. 67 p. This guide has been enormously popular, both nationally and internationally, and successful in providing grant and fellowship information to students seeking money for graduate studies and professionals seeking funding for research in Natural Resources Management and Forestry. This guide, last published in October, 1993, now is somewhat dated and limited in scope. In order to update the publication and enhance its value, I am seeking help in obtaining information about grants and fellowships for graduate students and professionals working in NRM & Forestry. It is understood that both fields are either multi-disciplinary or inter-disciplinary and focused or broad in application. Hence, employment opportunities would range from work for wood fiber chemists, timber certification specialists, and tropical forest conservation ecologists, to that for consultants aiding a developed nation in management of potable water sources. If you have current information about grant and fellowship opportunities, however limited, or know of others who might have such information, I would be very grateful for e-mail ASCII files, or diskettes of databases. Receipt of even the most obvious grants and fellowships is beneficial because it will aid in updating addresses, contacts, tel/fax numbers etc. However, the more information in the database, the better. Information required would include the following: Grant or Fellowship Title Full Address of foundation/society/group/organization, etc. Scholarship/fund Officer/administrator Description, and Purpose of program Eligibility requirements Number, duration, and amount of awards Application deadlines & requirements Phone, FAX, E-mail for contacts WWW Home Pages A summary of the goals/ideals of the organization Disciplines in which funds are awarded NOTE (copyright, credit, etc.): Credit will be provide to individuals/organizations, etc. donating contact databases. All information, when published, will be in the 'public domain' (i.e., not protected by copyright). No database will be used verbatim unless requested. Thank you to all who have or will taken time out of their schedules to dig out contact databases or just send in information about this or that organization. It is appreciated very much. However, I am still in need of more information about grants and fellowships and donor institutions in order to find those missed by searched of Petersen's and other grant & fellowship database publications. PLEASE SEND FILES, INQUIRIES TO ME, NOT THE GROUP Thank you for your help :) * This guide book will be published by the USFS. Anticipate about 6 months before it is avaliable and then phone, FAX, or write to the following address for a free copy: U.S. Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture International Forestry Division 1049 14th St. N.W. Franklin Court Bldg.
