Uma Lele Mentor Fellowship for Women

Description

The Agricultural & Applied Economics Association (AAEA) Trust is now accepting applications for the Uma Lele Mentor Fellowship Award for Women. The Uma Lele Mentor Fellowship Award for Women supports a mentorship relationship between an early career woman agricultural, resource and environmental economist from low income and lower-middle income countries, and a mentor who is a member of the AAEA. Women scholars, who are either within one year of obtaining a Ph.D. in Agricultural Economics, Economics, or related field, or within five years of having completed Ph.D. are eligible to apply. Ph.D. students studying in countries that are not considered low-income economies and lower-middle-income economies may also apply, but they must be close to completing their degree and planning to permanently reside in a low-income or a lower-middle-income country by the end of 2025. Mentors can reside in any part of the world, but they must be AAEA members. To apply, scholars should submit a research proposal outlining the research project that the applicant will work on with his or her mentor; a letter of recommendation from the applicant's department head/supervisor stating that the institution supports the applicant's participation; name and details of the mentor; and a letter of intent to collaborate from the proposed mentor if the applicant already has a mentor. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association for more information.
