National Science Foundation (NSF) Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants (DDRIG)
The National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (BCS), Division of Social and Economic Sciences (SES), National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES), and the SBE Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (SMA) award grants to doctoral students to improve the quality of dissertation research. These grants provide funds for items not normally available through the student's university. Additionally, these grants allow doctoral students to undertake significant data-gathering projects and to conduct field research in settings away from their campus that would not otherwise be possible. Proposals are judged on the basis of their scientific merit, including the theoretical importance of the research question and the appropriateness of the proposed data and methodology to be used in addressing the question.
Application deadlines for Fall 2011 are below. Please note that NSF DDRIG applications must be submitted through IU's Office of Research Administration (ORA), and some parts of the application are due to ORA before the NSF program deadline.
Archeology: Anytime
Cultural Anthropology: August 15, 2011

CFP: Manifestos! for Graduate Students and Post-Graduates (M/MLA Panel)
As universities adjust to new pressures, the experiences and ideas of graduate students and recent PhDs remain largely unheard. Everyday graduate students, postdocs, and adjuncts talk about teaching, balancing personal and professional lives, and the difficulties of earning tenure, among many other things, in the hallways and offices of university departments. Yet grad students have very few public forums in which to communicate their experiences and express their opinions. We take these experiences and ideas seriously as an opportunity to improve the condition of graduate students, to offer hopeful solutions for the future of academia, and to foster greater collaboration between graduate students, adjuncts, tenured professors, and post-academics.
We chose the manifesto form for its ability to simultaneously address important issues and hail its audience as an active public for positive change. This panel aims to create a public forum that uses the manifesto—understood broadly—to address the issues that are facing us today. Rather than an airing of grievances, we seek affirmative manifestos that expose the experiences, declare new approaches, and organize new and existing networks of academics and postacademics. Manifestos should be 1,000 words or less, and formal experimentation is encouraged. Submit a 250-word abstract to Maglina Lubovich (mlubovic@css.edu) and Steven Davis (stevdavi@indiana.edu) by June 20, 2011.
Possible topics might include:
• Job Market/Post-Academic Alternatives
• Race/Gender/Sexuality/Ability/Class/Religion and Academia
• Coursework/Exams/Dissertation
• Teaching/Funding
• Research/Publishing
• Medical/Mental Health
• Undergraduate/Graduate/Adjunct/Faculty/Post-Academic Collaboration
• Balancing Family and Profession
