FUNDING OPPORTUNITY

   Dissertation Fellowship -- IIE, Population, Reproductive Health, and
Economic Development

   The Institute of International Education (IIE) is now accepting
applications for the Dissertation Fellowship in Population, Reproductive
Health, and Economic Development. The two-year fellowships of $20,000 per
year will be awarded by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and IIE.
The fellowships are open to students currently enrolled in Ph.D. programs
in the United States and Canada. Students in economics,
economic demography, geography, and epidemiology are especially
encouraged to apply.

   These fellowships will support dissertation research on topics that
examine how population dynamics and family planning and reproductive
health (FP/RH) influence economic development, including economic
growth, poverty reduction, and equity. Dissertations that address
population and development issues pertinent to the African continent are
especially encouraged. The research must include a strong quantitative
component, with an emphasis on rigorous data analysis. We encourage the
development or use of new statistical methods. Finally, the research must
have a strong policy-relevant component, demonstrating an interest in
communicating research results with program managers, planners, and
policymakers.

   The objective of The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation/IIE
Dissertation Fellowship is to produce sound evidence on the role of
population and reproductive health in economic development that could be
incorporated into national and international economic planning and
decision making.

   The deadline for applying is February 27, 2009.
