HAS SUMMER RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS
Students who are enrolled in an accredited graduate program
in sociology or related fields are invited to submit
proposals for a two-month summer research project that uses
data from the Houston Area Survey to investigate important
substantive issues of social theory or policy. The survey
web site (at www.katespadebagsoutletsales.net)
gives a detailed description of this valuable source of
empirical data. Click the link below for examples of
substantive research questions for which the Houston surveys
provide particularly rich and relevant data.The proposal should outline, in no more than five
double-spaced pages, the research question(s) to be
addressed and methods of analysis, as well as plans for
presentation or publication and a timetable for meeting
these goals. At least one letter of recommendation should
accompany the application, from a faculty member in the
student’s department who can speak to the applicant’s
qualifications for the successful completion of the proposed
research and who will affirm a personal willingness to
provide advice and supervision during the term of the
project.The application deadline is March 1, 2005. Application
materials should be sent to: HAS Summer Fellowships,
Department of Sociology, MS-28, Rice University, 6100 S.
Main Street, Houston, Texas 77005-1892. Questions about
these fellowships can be emailed to soci@rice.edu.Proposals will be evaluated on the quality and importance of
the research plan and the strength of local institutional
and faculty support. Each successful proposal receives a
stipend of $3,000. Additional support is available to cover
the costs of travel to Rice University to present the
research findings at a special forum to be held in the fall
semester after completion of the summer research,
and—contingent on the paper being accepted—for travel to
professional meetings as well. |
