The Institute for Humane
Studies at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia will award nearly
one half million dollars to outstanding graduate and undergraduate students
-- fellowships range up to $12,000, and the deadline is December 31.
Humane Studies Fellowships are awarded by the Institute for Humane Studies
to support the work of outstanding students interested in the "classical
liberal" tradition. Applications will be considered from those who
(1) will be a full-time graduate student or undergraduate student with
junior or senior standing in the 1999/00 academic year; (2) have a clearly
demonstrated interest in the classical liberal/libertarian tradition, and
3) are interested in applying the principles of this tradition to their
work. For more info, visit http://www.TheIHS.org.
Substance Abuse Policy Research
Program 1998, Round IV: The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is requesting
proposals for research projects that will produce policy-relevant information
about ways to reduce the harm caused by the use of tobacco, alcohol, and
illegal drugs, or any combination thereof in the United States. This
call for proposals is intended to encourage experts in public health, law,
political science, medicine, sociology, criminal justice, economics, and
other behavioral and policy sciences to address issues related to substance
abuse, the nation's number one health problem. Projects supported
are expected to increase understanding of public and private policy interventions
to reduce the harm caused by the use of tobacco, alcohol, and illegal drugs;
including the advantages, disadvantages, and potential impact of these
policies. This program is intended to identify and assess policies
that can reduce the harm caused by substance abuse; to analyze their feasibility,
effectiveness, and likely consequences; and to help ensure that the understanding
gained through these analyses will be used by decision makers in the public
and private sectors. Letters of intent are due by December 16.
