The Student Scientific Paper Award will be presented at the RESNA Annual Conference. This competition is funded by the Whitaker Foundation. The purpose of this competition is to promote high quality scientific and engineering research in the field of rehabilitation and assistive technologies. The competition is intended to encourage students from a variety of disciplines to address issues in the field of rehabilitation and assistive technologies and submit papers for presentation at the RESNA Annual Conference. This competition is based on scientific merit of the reported research and is structured to be complementary to the Student Design Competition. The purpose of the Student Scientific Paper Competition is to promote more basic research in the field of rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology and is based on the scientific and engineering merit of the research. Thus, the criteria for this award are considerably different from the Student Design Competition and include the rationale for the research, hypothesis statement, methodology, result presentation, discussion, and the significance of the research. There is no criteria for this award relating to the immediate linkage of research results to practical application, although the significance of the research will certainly be judged in part on the ultimate applicability of the results. Any work substantially performed while an individual is a full-time student in either an undergraduate or graduate academic program is eligible for the competition. Work of part-time students completely performed as part of their academic requirements and not related to other professional work or position is also eligible. Students applying for the competition must be listed as first author on their paper and must have carried out a majority of the work presented in the paper. A letter of certification from a full-time faculty member, verifying fulfillment of these requirements, is required and should be submitted along with the paper. A paper cannot be submitted to both this competition and the Student Design Competition. Up to five $1,000 honorarium awards will be made.

These fields include: biochemistry, genetics, neuroanatomy, neurobiology, pharmacology, physiology, psychiatry, psychology, sociology, and epidemiology. The program does not require that the candidate's dissertation topic be directly related to schizophrenia. The relevance of the candidate's career to schizophrenia is more important for award consideration. The fellowship stipend is $12,000 per annum. It is assumed that the candidate will spend essentially full-time on his doctoral research. Fellowships can begin on the first of any month starting with August. Proportional support can be awarded for one year with the possibility for renewal. The deadline listed is for a letter from the applicant's sponsoring scientist. The letter must include evidence of candidate's distinction in graduate performance plus an outline of the research plan. If invited to apply, applications are due April 1.

The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama is one of the leading centers for basic research on the ecology, behavior and evolution of tropical organisms. The Smithsonian Institution through the Office of Fellowships and Grants has several programs to support a limited number of persons at various academic levels who wish to engage in research activities at the Institute (STRI). These programs include: 10-Week Graduate Student Fellowships, Predoctoral Fellowships, Postdoctoral Fellowships, and Senior Postdoctoral Fellowships. The Graduate Student Fellowships are for students engaged in graduate studies at any level to carry out research for 10 weeks under the guidance of a Smithsonian staff member. The Predoctoral Fellowships are for investigators who have completed preliminary course work and examinations for the Ph.D. and are engaged in dissertation research, to conduct a research project of 6 to 12 months duration under the guidance of a Smithsonian staff member. The Postdoctoral Fellowships are for investigators who have completed the doctoral degree less than seven years before the application deadline to conduct research for 6 to 12 months at the Smithsonian. The Senior Postdoctoral Fellowships are for investigators more than 7 years beyond Ph.D. degree, to conduct research at the Smithsonian from 3 to 12 months. Applications for this may be made up to two years in advance. Often the stipend will be matched by other sources of funding such as a sabbatical salary. For further information, write the contact listed above. INFORMATION FOR VISITORS: The facilities at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama are available for use by visitors. Most of the research done at STRI reflects scientific interests in the ecology and behavior of tropical plants and animals, and in man's past and continuing activities in the tropics and the way those activities affect biological processes. There are no limitations regarding the duration of stay. Any proposed research at any STRI facility or under STRI sponsorship requires submission of an application form and project proposal. Applications are reviewed in March, June, September and December and must be received by the first of the month, generally three months before proposed research is to begin. More long-term commitments can be made when required by research protocol or outside granting agencies. We allow living space for principal investigators and one assistant.

The program seeks to contribute to a more thorough understanding of human sexuality by encouraging researchers to formulate new research questions, generate new theories, and apply new methods in sexuality research. The program supports research that contributes to a more thorough understanding of human sexuality in order to inform programmatic/community efforts and public policy regarding current social and health issues; develops interdisciplinary approaches, both theoretical and applied, in which researchers from different social science disciplines will participate; and proposes methodological innovation and diversity utilizing qualitative research methods that generate new theories and test new methodology. Applicants will be encouraged to submit research proposals that seek to investigate a wide range of sexuality topics as conceptualized by their respective disciplines and conducted within the United States, including but not limited to: sexual/gender role socialization within the context of society and culture; historical, comparative and/or cross-cultural analyses of sexuality within the United States and internationally; social construction analyses of sexuality; the diversity and distribution of sexual values, beliefs, and behaviors within different populations and their meanings for individuals; the link between sexuality and gender relations; sexual orientation; sexual coercion; the impact of economic change or of other institutional influences, such as religion or the media, on sexuality, and the formation of social policy based on cultural norms regarding sexuality. Projects in which researchers from different social science disciplines will participate and those that address community needs and/or are relevant to policy development and implementation are particularly welcome. Designed to provide training experience, only joint fellowship applications will be considered from the applicant and the research advisor or associate who will be required to function in a mentoring capacity and be responsible for providing a training experience for the fellow. The Research Advisor/Associate co-applicant should hold a doctoral degree in one of the appropriate disciplines and demonstrate a commitment to the training of the candidate. She or he should also present evidence of commitment to human sexuality research through past mentoring and/or research work. For each fellowship an additional $3,000 will be awarded to the fellow's host institution and $3,000 to the fellow's research advisor or associate to defray expenses associated with the fellow's training, including direct research. Institutional overhead is not provided. The Dissertation Fellowships program will provide support for 12 continuous months in the amount of $28,000 to cover direct research costs, matriculation fees, and living expenses. Approximately 10 dissertation fellowships will be awarded in 1997.
