Title: Centers on the Demography and Economics of Aging (P30)
Program: This Research and Development Center (P30) program is designed primarily to support the infrastructure and pilot data necessary for research and program development by a number of investigators within an institution, and/or across domestic and international institutions, in the areas of demography and economics of aging. Additional objectives are to support: the development of innovative national and international networks of researchers; the recruitment of new researchers into demography and economics of aging; the development and enhanced sharing of relevant databases; the rapid application of research results from these databases; and the development of statistical data enclaves and data sharing methods for the analysis of large-scale, often-longitudinal, databases with linked administrative, biological and/or genetic information.

Summer Stipends are awarded to individual scholars. Organizations are not eligible to apply. Internal Guidelines: The campus may submit up to two nominations. Interested applicants should prepare a project description (no longer than 3 pages) and email it as .pdf to ihr@ucsc.edu by September 1, 2013. A committee composed of three members of the participating divisions (Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences) will select the top two projects and send their recommendations to the Humanities Dean, the campus nominating official. The nominees will be notified by September 10, 2013 and have until September 26, 2013 to complete and submit their NEH applications.

Title: Andrew W. Mellon New Directions Fellowship
Program: The University of California, Santa Cruz has been invited to nominate one candidate for the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's New Directions Fellowship. This is an invitation-only submission process. It is a very prestigious award that covers salary for approximately one academic year and two summers of additional support (including release time from teaching, if required). Candidates for this program should be highly qualified scholars pursuing innovative research. New Directions Fellowship assist faculty members in the humanities and humanistic social sciences who received their doctorate between six and twelve years ago and who wish to acquire systematic training outside their own disciplines. The fellowships are looking to assist faculty whose research interests cross-disciplinary boundaries and call for formal training in a discipline other than the one in which they are expert. The nominee will be decided by a committee of Social Science and Humanities faculty members.

Title: Christine Mirzayan Science & Technology Policy Graduate Fellowship
Program: Several internships provide early career individuals with the opportunity to spend 12 weeks at the National Academies in Washington, DC, learning about science and technology policy and the role that scientists and engineers play in advising the nation. Each year, applicants from around the world become part of a National Academies committee, board, or unit where they are assigned to a mentor and learn about the world of science and technology policy. An immersive experience, the program is designed to broaden fellows’ appreciation of employment opportunities outside academia and leave them with both a firm grasp of the important and dynamic role of science and technology in decision-making and a better understanding of the role that they can play in strengthening the science and technology enterprise for the betterment of mankind.
