Young EEE's:
You may have received and tossed the envelope in the mail from the Smith
Richardson Foundation, but it may be worth a look at http://www.srf.org
because they offer three fellowships to young researchers in domestic
policy (including environmental policy) with phd's after 2002. Click on
that site, then on "Domestic", and then on "Domestic Public Policy
Research Fellowship Program." I'll paste some of that below.
Thanks. Don

The Smith Richardson Foundations Domestic Public Policy Program seeks to
support the work of the next generation of public policy researchers and
analysts. In 2008, the Foundation will award at least three research
grants in the amount of $60,000 each to individuals who are interested in
conducting research and writing on domestic public policy issues. Grantees
are expected to produce a book or an article suitable for publication in a
peer-reviewed journal. The grant can be used to cover the salary costs of
the researcher and to underwrite research costs, such as travel, research
assistance, and data acquisition. Each grant will be paid directly to, and
should be administered by, the institution at which the researcher works.
Procedure
Applicants should submit to the Foundation a one-page executive summary
and a ten-page research proposal. The proposal should include the
following sections: (1) a brief description of the issue or the problem
that the project will examine; (2) a description of the background and
body of knowledge on the issue to be addressed by the project; (3) a
description of the personnel and the methods (e.g., research questions,
research strategy, analytical approach, tentative organization of the
final product, etc.); and (4) a brief explanation of the policy making
implications of the projects prospective findings. In addition to this
proposal, the applicant should include a curriculum vitae and a detailed
budget explaining how the grant would be used. Applicants should follow
the Domestic Public Policy Fellowship program Proposal Template, which
appears on the Foundations web site (www.srf.org).
Project Criteria
Preference will be given to proposals that address policy issues that have
been priority areas for the Foundations Domestic Public Policy Program
during the past three years: education and school reform; income support
and anti-poverty policy; child and youth development; public finance;
policies related to public entitlement programs, including Social
Security, Medicare, and Medicaid; urban and criminal justice policy;
regulatory policy, including environmental policy; immigration policy; and
the political process.
Proposals will be evaluated based on the following criteria: (1) the
relevance of the analysis and findings to current and future domestic
public policy debates; (2) the potential of the project to innovate in the
field and to contribute to the literature on the chosen topic; (3) the
degree to which research questions and analytical methods are well
defined; (4) the degree to which the project will develop valuable new
data or information; and (5) the publication record of the applicant.
