Important Notices

  • For students proposing projects that involve research on human subjects (this includes any research that involves interviews or observation), please acquaint yourself with the procedures of the Institutional Review Board and discuss with your faculty advisor. Once awarded, in order to receive the fellowship funding, students are required to have their research approved by the IRB. This can be a lengthy and involved process, so it is advisable to begin early.
     
  • Research projects may not take place in a country on either the U.S. State Department "warning" or Treasury "embargo" lists (except when an embargo is specifically directed toward a narrow set of individuals or circumstances in a country). Travel warnings can be accessed at: www.travel.state.gov.
