The Center for a
Livable Future is now accepting applications for its
2008-2009 Predoctoral Fellowship Program. Fellowships will
be awarded to Johns Hopkins University
predoctoral students in one of CLF's three program
areas:
The "Farming for the Future" fellowship is intended to
support predoctoral students committed
to the discovery and application of knowledge about the
public health, environmental, economic, social
and policy implications of industrial food animal
production and other forms of industrial agriculture;
and/or work examining sustainable alternatives of food
production in the U.S. or abroad.
The "Eating for the Future" fellowship supports
interest in current food systems, sustainable
alternatives to current food systems, increasing food
security; appropriate food choices for ecological
and human health; and effective health promotion and
behavior change interventions related to
dietary choices.
The "Living for the Future" fellowship supports
predoctoral students interested in water quality
and availability, competing demands for water; the food
system's contribution to climate change;
sustainability initiatives within higher education, a key
impetus for societal change; and impacts of
toxic chemicals on ecological and human health.
Each fellowship provides one year of support in an
amount up to $60,000 to be used for tuition,
stipend and/or research expenses depending on individual
needs. Students are eligible for support
during any stage of their doctoral program, including those
applying to a doctoral program at the time
of this application. Students must be enrolled in any
division of the university in a PhD, ScD or DrPH
program. Applications for each program area are available
