Fellows will use the AgriCorps training curriculum manual which is based on the integration of four components essential to a successful fellowship experience: interior formation, teaching pedagogy, cultural awareness, and agriculture enhancement. The training workshops will equip fellows with the basic tools needed for success, but more importantly, it will connect them to human resources they can call upon throughout the year as needed.

After moving to assigned communities, fellows will work daily with teachers to integrate SBAE lessons when appropriate. They will be actively engaging in their communities and will implement agricultural projects. Fellows will meet once a month as a group to check-in and assess their progress with a field director or program coordinator. In addition, fellows will be responsible for submitting monthly monitoring and evaluation surveys.

Fellows will be given a monthly stipend, live with a host family within their respective communities, and be given a 2-3 week break halfway through the program to travel back to the U.S. at their own expense. All travel will be reported to the program coordinator or field director. Fellows must abide by established IAEFP travel protocols at all times. It is of utmost important to keep our fellows safe and healthy throughout the program.

ABOUT THE AWARD

Photograph of Mona Brand on ferry

Established in 2016, the $30,000 Mona Brand Award is presented every two years to a woman or non-binary writer for a body of outstanding work displaying broad array, which has been widely performed or screened to critical acclaim.

As well as this major prize for a body of work, the Early Career Writer Award, valued at $10,000, is presented to a woman or non-binary writer who is in the early stages of their career for their first professionally produced, screened or broadcast work.

This is the only award of its kind in Australia and was made possible through a bequest to the State Library of NSW Foundation by the late Mona Fox nee Brand (1915–2007) a trailblazing Australian poet, author and a prolific playwright of nearly 30 plays. Her work, which often addressed socially relevant and controversial topics has been performed on stage, radio and television in Australia and overseas.

In 2002 the Library acquired her papers, including correspondence, diaries, manuscripts photographs, recordings and many other records of her remarkable life and career. As the custodian of this important collection it is fitting that the State Library administers and presents this Award, which not only honours the rich legacy Mona Brand imparted but celebrates the best of contemporary writing by Australian women.

Le programme de bourses HFSP soutient les propositions de recherche de pointe potentiellement transformatrice dans les sciences de la vie. Les candidatures pour des projets à haut risque sont particulièrement encouragées. Les projets doivent être de nature interdisciplinaire et remettre en question les paradigmes existants en utilisant de nouvelles approches et techniques. Scientifiquement, ils doivent répondre à un problème important ou à un obstacle au progrès dans le domaine.

Les bourses postdoctorales du HFSP encouragent les scientifiques en début de carrière à élargir leurs compétences en recherche en s'orientant vers de nouveaux domaines d'études tout en travaillant dans un nouveau pays.

2019 Awardees Meeting Toronto - poster session

Deux bourses différentes sont disponibles:

Les bourses de longue durée (LTF) sont destinées aux candidats titulaires d'un doctorat sur un sujet biologique qui souhaitent se lancer dans un projet nouveau et pionnier axé sur les sciences de la vie.

Les bourses interdisciplinaires (CDF) sont destinées aux candidats titulaires d'un doctorat dans une discipline non biologique (par exemple, physique, chimie, mathématiques, ingénierie ou informatique) et qui n'ont jamais travaillé dans les sciences de la vie auparavant.

Il n'y a qu'un seul concours par an pour les bourses HFSP. Les candidatures aux bourses de longue durée et interdisciplinaires HFSP 2025 (qui débuteront en 2025) suivront un processus de soumission en deux étapes via la plateforme de soumission en ligne ProposalCentral . Tout d'abord, les candidats seront invités à soumettre une lettre d'intention à partir de laquelle le comité d'examen sélectionnera les meilleures propositions. Dans un deuxième temps, les candidats retenus seront invités à soumettre une proposition complète.

Le lien vers le portail d'inscription de chaque programme sera disponible dans les directives de candidature correspondantes. Les directives de candidature pour le cycle en cours sont disponibles à titre de référence :          - Les bourses de longue durée peuvent être téléchargées  ici ,          - Les bourses interdisciplinaires peuvent être téléchargées  ici .

Les candidats doivent avoir au moins une publication d'auteur principal avant la date limite de soumission de la lettre d'intention qui peut être un manuscrit (1) publié dans un référentiel de préimpressions OA reconnu, ou (2) accepté pour publication, (3) sous presse ou (4 ) déjà publié dans une revue à comité de lecture.

La soumission d'une demande de bourse au stade de la proposition complète n'est cependant possible qu'avec un article de recherche publié conformément aux points (2) à (4) ci-dessus. Le HFSP n'accepte que les publications de recherche originales complètes en anglais qui ont été évaluées par des pairs et pour lesquelles le candidat doit être soit l'auteur unique, soit le premier auteur, soit le premier auteur conjoint. Dans un article conjoint avec premier auteur, le candidat n'a pas besoin d'être répertorié en première position, mais la contribution égale des auteurs doit être clairement indiquée dans tous les cas.

Dans certains cas, la pratique standard de publication rend impossible la paternité première (par exemple, liste alphabétique des auteurs) ; ces circonstances doivent être expliquées dans la demande.

The HFSP fellowship program supports proposals for frontier, potentially transformative research in the life sciences. Applications for high-risk projects are particularly encouraged. The projects should be interdisciplinary in nature and should challenge existing paradigms by using novel approaches and techniques. Scientifically, they should address an important problem or a barrier to progress in the field.

HFSP postdoctoral fellowships encourage early career scientists to broaden their research skills by moving into new areas of study while working in a new country.

Two different fellowships are available:

Long-Term Fellowships (LTF) are for applicants with a PhD on a biological topic who want to embark on a novel and frontier project focussing on the life sciences.

 

Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships (CDF) are for applicants who hold a doctoral degree from a non-biological discipline (e.g. physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering or computer sciences) and who have not worked in the life sciences before.

There is only one competition per year for HFSP Fellowships. Applications for the 2025 HFSP Long-Term and Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships (to start in 2025) will follow a two-step submission process via the online submission platform ProposalCentral. Firstly, applicants will be asked to submit a Letter of Intent from which the review committee will select the best proposals. In a second step, successful applicants will be invited to submit a Full Proposal. The link to the registration portal of each program will be available in the corresponding application guidelines. The application guidelines for the current cycle are available for reference:           - Long-Term Fellowships can be downloaded here,           - Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships can be downloaded here.

The application guidelines for the next cycle will be available early 2024. The HFSP application portal in ProposalCentral will open in March 2024 for Letters of Intent.
