OBJECTIVES:  The sponsor provides support for outstanding
researchers and scholars who are members of minority groups whose
underrepresentation in the professoriate and in formal programs of
postdoctoral study and research in the United States has been
long-standing. The postdoctoral fellowships provide one year of
support for individuals engaged in postdoctoral study after the
attainment of the Ph.D. or Sc.D. degree.  Awards will be made for
study in the following major disciplines and related interdisciplinary
fields: American studies, anthropology, archaeology, art and theater
history, astronomy, chemistry, communications, computer science, earth
sciences, economics, education, engineering, ethnomusicology,
geography, history, international relations, language, life sciences,
linguistics, literature, mathematics, performance study, philosophy,
physics, political science, psychology, religion, sociology, urban
planning, and women's studies. Also eligible are interdisciplinary
ethnic studies programs, such as African American studies and Native
American studies, and other interdisciplinary programs, such as area
studies, peace studies, and social justice.

ELIGIBILITY
  Fellowships will be offered only to individuals who are citizens or
nationals of the United States at the time of application (must have
become a U.S. citizen by November 8, 2010) and who are members of the
following groups: Native American Indians, Alaskan Natives (Eskimo or
Aleut), Black/African Americans, Mexican Americans/Chicanas/Chicanos,
Native Pacific Islanders (Micronesian or Polynesian), and Puerto
Ricans.  Applicants are required to have earned a PhD or ScD degree
from a U.S. educational institution no earlier than November 30, 2003
and no later than November 8, 2010, in a field supported by this
program.  Applicants must be committed to a career in teaching and
research at the college or university level.  Fellowship applicants
are encouraged to choose a fellowship institution other than the
institution with which they are affiliated at the time of application.
These fellowships are awarded for full-time research at appropriate
not-for-profit institutions of higher education or research, normally
in the United States.  Appropriate institutions include universities,
museums, libraries, government or national laboratories, privately
sponsored not-for-profit institutes, government chartered
not-for-profit research organizations, and centers for advanced study.
A fellow affiliating with a foreign institution may be asked to
designate a U. S. institution to act as a liaison.

FUNDING
  Approximately 18 fellowships will be awarded.  These one-year
postdoctoral fellowships may be held for either nine or twelve months
and may not be deferred or delayed.  A $40,000 stipend is provided.
An employing institution allowance of $1,500 is also provided.
Expenses to attend one Conference of Ford Fellows are provided.
