Fellows Program

The Jordan Institute for International Awareness is pleased to announce the 2012-2013 Fellows Program. This program provides highly qualified graduate and undergraduate students grants (up to $2000 depending on the quality of individual proposals) to perform an independent international research project. Participants design a specific independent international study or research project in another country that will enhance their educational or career goals. We prefer applicants who have had limited to no travel experiences abroad. This fellowship is designed for individual study or research and is not designed to fund a Study/Internship Abroad program.

The application process is rigorous and involves submitting a pre-proposal and a proposal, and having a personal interview. See specific details and requirements can be found on the L.T. Jordan Institute for International Awareness website: http://ltjordan.tamu.edu/fellows/. Up to six Fellows will be selected and honored at a formal banquet with their guests in the spring.

Information on the Fellows Program will be presented at an informational on Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at 5:15-6:15 pm. Students are invited to attend and ask questions.

South Africa - Ukulima Farm RFP

Request for Proposals

The Ukulima Farm is a new research platform for the Texas A&M System in South Africa. The farm is a collaborative effort between the Norman Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture of the Texas A&M System and the Howard G. Buffett Foundation.

We seek applications from researchers throughout the Texas A&M System and their international colleagues to implement innovative collaborative research programs using the Ukulima Farm platform. These programs are intended to be long-term in scope. Seed money will be available for the first 3 years of programs to attract additional resources for establishing relationships and relevancy of the experiment station and the overall research agenda. These research programs should focus on emerging commercial African farmers.
