through DAAD are generally most relevant for graduate students: study scholarships

(provide an opportunity to do independent study in Germany or to complete a full

Master's degree), research grants (primarily to do doctoral research). As a partner

university, DAAD encourages the UA to select one priority candidate. Priority

candidates from partner universities receive preferential status in the general fellowship

competitions and have a considerably higher likelihood of being selected. The

information session will cover the basics of the study scholarship and research

scholarships as well as the priority candidacy process.

FinancialCAD Corporation (FINCAD) Women in Finance Scholarship The field of finance is changing rapidly, largely in response to regulations designed to protect market practitioners and to prevent financial crises. FINCAD has long believed that deep market knowledge, transparency and trustworthiness play a critical role in making financial markets safe for all participants. In addition, FINCAD is keenly aware

that the majority of practitioners in the capital markets industry are men, and that the trend to include more women in the industry is not as rapid as it should be. For these reasons, FINCAD established our annual Women in Finance Scholarship. The goal is to encourage and support outstanding women in the field of finance, particularly those pursuing careers in financial asset management, market risk management and

derivatives finance within the capital markets. The FINCAD Women in Finance Scholarship is an award of US$20,000 to support graduate-level studies.

Umwelt (DBU) – Doctoral Scholarship Program The DBU grants dissertation fellowships each year, for individuals in all disciplines, for

advanced research work in the field of environmental protection. The work has to be done mainly in Germany, with a clear reference to the German environmental situation. The chosen topic is expected to be of high relevance and should contribute to solving problems in environmental and conservation efforts. Generally, all environmental issues

are welcome who meet the above-mentioned criteria, i.e. in addition to the natural sciences and engineering, also applications from the social sciences, humanities, economics and law. Interdisciplinary topics that support a sustainable development, are

especially welcome. The complexity of environmental problems requires interdisciplinary collaboration between different scientific disciplines. DBU expects good German skills from foreign applicants to allow their integration into the DBU scholars' network.

Morton Cure Paralysis Fund (MCPF) Research Grants The Morton Cure Paralysis Fund (MCPF) is committed to developing effective therapies (cures) for paralysis associated with spinal cord injury and other disorders of the central

nervous system (CNS). MCPF funds activities that hold promise of identifying therapies (cures) for paralysis in humans. MCPF has particular focus of placing projects in the research pipeline, that is, enabling scientists to develop the proof concept data necessary to apply for larger NIH grants. The development of effective therapies for chronic injury is a high priority for the organization. Basic research will be supported if it has clear

potential to accelerate progress at the applied end of the continuum and/or if it reflects innovative research or a 'change of direction.

Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research Post-Ph.D.

Research Grants Post-Ph.D. Research Grants are awarded to individuals holding a Ph.D. or equivalent

degree to support individual research projects. The program contributes to the Foundation's overall mission to support basic research in anthropology and to ensure that the discipline continues to be a source of vibrant and significant work that furthers

our understanding of humanity's cultural and biological origins, development, and variation. The Foundation supports research that demonstrates a clear link to anthropological theory and debates, and promises to make a solid contribution to

advancing these ideas. There is no preference for any methodology, research location, or subfield. The Foundation particularly welcomes proposals that employ a comparative perspective, can generate innovative approaches or ideas, and/or integrate two or more subfields.
