The Kauffman Legal Research Fellowship

New York University School of Law

New York University School of Law is proud to announce the Kauffman Legal Research Fellowship, which will be offered for the second time in the academic year of 2010 - 2011. The purpose of the fellowship is to promote research and curriculum development in subjects related to law, innovation, and economic growth. The Fellowship is open to law school graduates with the strongest credentials and most exciting ideas.

The Kauffman Legal Research Fellowship Program is being administered by NYU School of Law under the auspices of the Jacobson Leadership Program in Law and Business. Fellows are expected to produce a substantial piece of work during their time at the Law School. A proposed plan for the Fellowship year - specifying the need for the project, goals to be met by the project, how the goals will further the understanding of innovation and growth, and a timeline - will provide the basis for applications. Fellows will work on their project and participate in activities of the Leadership Program and other faculty workshops and colloquia.

The Fellow will benefit from the mentorship of Leadership Program Faculty Directors Helen S. Scott, Professor of Law, and Gerald Rosenfeld, Clinical Professor of Business at NYU Stern and Deputy Chairman of Rothschild North America. Kauffman Fellows receive a stipend, anticipated to be approximately $45,000 for the coming academic year, as well as health insurance, a conference and book allotment, and space to work in the Law School. The fellowship will be granted to one fellow each year for three years.

A Selection Committee comprised of Law School faculty and members of the Leadership Program's Advisory Board will select the fellows. Projects will be selected for funding based upon the potential of their research to enable a more robust and nuanced understanding of the relationships between law, innovation, and growth. Fellows will be chosen on the basis of their demonstrated academic excellence, their commitment to scholarship and policymaking, and the quality and feasibility of the proposed project.

The application deadline for the Kauffman Legal Research Fellowship is Monday, March 15, 2010. The Fellowship will last for one year, from September 1, 2010 through August 31, 2011. Applications should include: A short statement describing prior experiences that demonstrate applicant's interest in law and entrepreneurship, and aspirations for future work in this area, as well as the Project proposal and plan. Applications should also include: Curriculum vitae; Law school transcript; Copies of any publications; two Letters of recommendation from individuals familiar with the candidate's academic or professional qualifications. Applications should be sent to the attention of:

Small Scale Grants for Youth-led Projects International

Peace Child International has created the “Be the Change!” Programme (BTC!) to support young people to get involved in local community action and development projects. They aim to encourage young people to BE THE CHANGE they want to see in their communities and to make it possible we created a small scale grant programme for youth-led projects.

If you are below 25 years old and have a project that concentrates on the development of your community at a local level, take a deep look in the requirements for the grant programme and submit your proposal to Peace Child International.

The Be the Change! desk officers will guide and advise you to identify your own local issues, priorities and problems and also help you to provide your own solutions.

# The kind of projects supported: are projects that are genuinely youth-led
# are projects, which benefit the community rather than an individual need (no support for school fees or personal trips)
# are projects up to £500 with a detailed budget
# have two experienced and committed adults to mentor the project: following the principles of the co-management
# have measures of achievement (indicators) by which projects may be evaluated
# can be either income-generating (funds to start up a small business and creating jobs) or it can be non-income generating (for health, education, environmental clean-up or community improvement) social programmes which are of genuine and lasting community value.

Deadline: 31 March 2010

Enlever le drapeau POMED Seminars for Policy Professionals - Spring 2010

Dear Friends,

As many of you know, we are excited to be offering the second session of POMED's seminar courses for policy professionals this spring, featuring lectures by leading experts on political dynamics in the Middle East and U.S. tools and strategies for supporting reform. However, partly as a result of Snowmaggedon (and Snowmaggedon II), we've decided to push back the start of our spring courses by two weeks. Each course will begin the second week of March and will meet one evening a week, from 7:00-8:30, for 10 weeks. Registration is now open, and each course will be capped at 12 students, so sign up today!

The first course, "Autocratic Persistence: Sources and Varieties of Change," takes an in-depth look at the unique political context and dynamics of political change in the Middle East. This course will meet on Monday evenings beginning the week of March 8.

The second course, "Supporting Democracy in the Middle East: Tools and Strategy," examines the tools and strategies available to U.S. policymakers for encouraging genuine democratic progress, the links between these tools in theory and practice, and the process of policymaking from budgeting to decisions to execution. This course will meet on Wednesday evenings beginning on March 10.

This spring the two courses will be chaired by Marina Ottaway and Scott Carpenter, respectively, and lecturers will include Jim Kolbe, Tom Malinowksi, Rodney Bent, Nathan Brown, and Tom Melia.

More information about both seminar courses, including a full list of topics, lecturers, and recommended readings, is available on our website. Go online to register today -- and please spread the word to others who may be interested!

All the best,
Andrew
