Dear STS Graduate Students,

In summer 2008, the Social Science Research Council will sponsor twelve (12)
Dissertation Proposal Development Fellowships in the field of Critical
Studies of Science and Technology Policy, with an emphasis on comparative
and international topics. These fellowships will fund participating graduate
students at US universities to pursue predissertation summer research and to
attend two integrated workshops designed to prepare you to learn and explore
research and dissertation proposal development strategies in STS and closely
related fields.

Except in unique circumstances, applicants should be in their second or
third year of PhD programs and must not yet have defended their dissertation
prospectus prior to attending the workshops. The due date for applications
is February 8, 2008, and applications must be filed through the SSRC
application portal:

http://programs.ssrc.org/dpdf/

If you have any questions, they can be directed to one of us (regarding
research topics and workshop plans) or the SSRC (regarding application
procedures or technical help with online applications). We are also
attaching a copy of the full announcement to this email.

This is a unique opportunity, and we very much hope that you will apply
yourself or help us recruit an outstanding group of participants.

Sincerely,

Sheila Jasanoff, Professor            Clark Miller, Associate Professor
Harvard University                           Arizona State University
