Dear Colleagues,
I write to encourage you to apply for the National Academy of Education Spencer Fellowship and Postdoctoral Fellowship. I also encourage you to share the Doctoral Dissertation opportunity identified below with our Doctoral students. These are highly, nationally competitive but worth the effort on many fronts--particularly in expanding your research thinking.
These are great opportunities to receive funding to pursue timely research goals. These are unique sources of funds because the Academy is open to many original research questions. I write as a former Spencer Fellow.
Please feel free to contact me if I can be of assistance.
With warm regards,
Rosalind Horowitz
