IESUS
Deadline: April 16, 2012 at 5:00pm
The Graduate School announces the call for applications to the newly established Institute for Ethnic Studies in the United States (IESUS) Publication Fellowship for 2012-13. Through the support of The Graduate School Fund for Excellence & Innovation (GSFEI), the Institute for Ethnic Studies in the United States was established in the University of Washington Graduate School in 1981 to encourage multi-ethnic, and ethnic-specific multi-disciplinary research on problems or issues pertaining to members of ethnic minority groups. Its thrust is toward generating significant scholarly publications and other scholarly activity.
IESUS aspires to generate scholarly input about ethnic studies by creating new knowledge and by stimulating and supporting the scholarly activities of the University of Washington graduate community. The IESUS Publication Fellowship supports publication opportunities for graduate students working in these areas who are in-progress with a paper that will be newly submitted to a journal within the 2012-2013 academic year future, or have recently submitted to a journal and have received a “revise and resubmit” decision. To enhance their success in achieving publication, IESUS Publication Fellowship recipients will work under the guidance of and in close collaboration with their faculty advisor.
Administered by GO-MAP, the IESUS Publication Fellowship will provide one quarter of financial support to allow students time away from teaching or research responsibilities to focus on the work necessary to submit or revise/resubmit a publication. For this reason the IESUS Publication Fellowship cannot be held concurrently with departmental TA or RA responsibilities or other forms of Graduate School support or other comparable fellowship appointments.
Award Details:- Priority for funding will be given to graduate students who are a first or second author and whose publications are being submitted to academic peer-reviewed journals.
- Consistent with the philosophy of IESUS, the IESUS Publication Fellowship will be limited to publications whose topics focus on ethnic studies in the United States. One quarter fellowship award to be used in the 2012-13 year (summer 2012 through spring 2013). Recipients may choose the quarter in which they use the award.
- Monthly stipend amount equivalent to what the awardee would earn at regular non- variable TA salary rates; waiver of tuition and mandatory fees (exception: no UPASS fee waiver); GAIP benefits eligibility.
- Full-time enrollment required (10 credits in autumn/winter/spring; 2 credits in summer).
- Students enrolled in fee-based programs are not eligible for consideration.

CDC Healthy Aging Research Network
Our project is focused on community wayfinding and seeks to examine it from a public health perspective. The overall aims of the project are to: conduct a systematic review of the literature; synthesize theory and existing research; review existing wayfinding measurement/assessments; develop a conceptual framework for community wayfinding in older adults; identify priorities for future research; and define implications for wayfinding relevant policy and practice.
We will be attentive to special needs populations, particularly those of older adults, but will not focus exclusively on these groups. In a similar vein, we do not anticipate investing heavily in the growing literature on individually oriented wayfinding technologies. Nonetheless, these various components are likely to be reflected in the conceptual framework resulting from our work. One or more manuscripts for publication in a peer-reviewed journal will be developed as part of this project. Responsibilities:- Assist the UW HPRC project librarian to search the literature using pre-established criteria; locate and organize articles per guidelines.
- Assist project members with the annotation and summarization of identified literature and other resources.
- Coordinate all project communications, including the scheduling of local and national project meetings, attending meetings, and taking and distributing meeting notes. National meetings are conducted telephonically and/or through a web-conference format. Some local meetings will be held in person.
Student should have: a scholarly interest in public health, aging, built environment, and/or urban planning; writes clearly; communicates effectively across a variety of platforms, e.g. email, phone and in meeting settings; is a practiced and efficient organizer and works well under deadlines.
