[URBANTH-L] FUNDING: VAI-SSRC NY Prize Fellowship in Sustainable Cities and the Social Sciences

[Angela Jancius]

VAI-SSRC NEW YORK PRIZE FELLOWSHIP IN SUSTAINABLE CITIES 
AND THE SOCIAL SCIENCES

Van Alen Institute in Partnership with the Social Science Research
Council

Application deadline: March 7, 2008. 

 Van Alen Institute and the Social Science Research Council solicit
proposals for a New York-based public program or series of programs that
function to convene social scientists and spatial practitioners in
architecture, design, and related disciplines for debate and dialogue on
the topic of sustainable cities.  The Institute invites applications
from early- to mid-career scholars and practitioners from the arts,
humanities and sciences.

The VAI-SSRC fellowship tenure spans the length of the 2008-2009
fellowship academic year, during which time fellows pursue advanced
independent research and work with the Institute and the SSRC in the
planning and production of their proposed public program. At some time
during the year, in the fall, spring or summer term, fellows take a
three-month residency at Van Alen Institute.  

The fellowship award includes project support up to $10,000, work and
public programming space at the Institute, publication in Public
Practice, and a range of project production, research and programming
resources. The Institute also provides a stipend to fellows for the
residency period ($1500 to New York City residents; $6500 to
non-residents) and may at its discretion contribute toward travel costs
at the beginning and end of the fellowship term.
