AF: Conservation and Sustainability Fellowship Program

Sponsor: The Alcoa Foundation (AF)

As part of Alcoa Foundation's Conservation and Sustainability Fellowship Program, Alcoa Foundation is pleased to announce the third round to select Practitioner Fellows for six to twelve months research projects. Fellows work from their home organizations and are mentored by an expert from one of the program's three Sustainability Institutes: The World Conservation Union (IUCN), Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM) and World Wildlife Fund - United States (WWF-US).

Practitioner Fellows selected in the past are completing research that will lead to solutions to some of the major conservation and sustainability issues:

Climate Change and Energy,

Conservation of Fragile Ecosystems and Biodiversity,

Sustainable Livelihoods and Economic Growth, and

Integrating Sustainability into Public Policy and Governance.

Practitioner Fellowships provide a non-degree opportunity for qualified middle-level professionals from NGOs (and in some cases, government) to conduct approved six- to twelve-month intensive applied research projects in conservation and sustainability.

Deadline: May 31, 2007.
