LIDC is contributing thousands of pounds towards field costs for five three-year PhD Studentships. The funds will support research projects in a range of innovative and specialised areas including using mobile phones to help monitor infectious disease, analysing sexual behaviour among young women in South Africa, and exploring land and legal issues in post-conflict countries in Africa. They will supplement the five development Studentships, out of a total of 13 Studentships, offered by The Bloomsbury Colleges. Each development project - Studentship plus field costs – is worth more than £60,000. Successful applicants will begin their PhDs in September/October 2010 as part of the scheme run by The Bloomsbury Colleges (a consortium made up of Birkbeck, Institute of Education, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Royal Veterinary College, School of Oriental and African Studies, and The School of Pharmacy). Each student will be guided by two academics - a lead supervisor from one of the Bloomsbury Colleges and a collaborating supervisor from another. This joint supervision approach will promote interdisciplinary research, a primary aim of LIDC. The Colleges, via the consortium, will provide Studentships to include tuition fees and a stipend. LIDC is committed to contributing a total of approximately £31,000 towards the field research costs across the five development Studentships.

The Program is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). It is open to individuals from developing countries currently enrolled in academic institutions in the United States, Canada, and other selected countries, pursuing doctoral programs and who are between their third and fifth year of studies. Developing-country applicants may be in any field of study but their focus of interest should be related to one or more of the following:
Program Information The program has three parts: Washington Workshop: Participants will attend a two-week workshop at PRB in Washington, D.C., scheduled for June 7 to 18, 2010. During the workshop the participants interact with PRB staff and outside experts active in policy research and communications. This workshop focuses on the role of research in the policy process and on techniques for effective communication of research findings to decisionmakers. During the workshop, participants are asked to work with their own research data to identify the policy relevance of their findings; Fellows learn how to draw implications of those findings and how to communicate them effectively to policy audiences. Practicum: During the 2010-2011 academic year, Fellows will apply the lessons learned at the Washington workshop to prepare three 4-to-6 page policy briefs and an oral presentation for policy audiences, based on their dissertations or related research topics. During the year, Fellows receive feedback from PRB staff on the policy briefs they write. The third policy brief, usually based on the Fellows’ own research (though supplemented by other research, if needed), and a 12-minute policy presentation are discussed and presented at the PAA workshop. PAA Workshop: The Fellows will formally present their research findings at a workshop that will be held prior to the 2011 Population Association of America (PAA) Annual Meeting. During the workshop, Fellows make 12-minute policy presentations to the other Fellows and to PRB and guest discussants. The workshop offers an opportunity to use skills learned at the seminar, as well as to obtain feedback on the third brief and presentations. PRB covers travel, lodging, and per diem expenses for each Fellow to attend the Washington workshop and the PAA. PRB pays for the PAA registration for each Fellow and awards stipends of $2,000 to cover Fellows' research expenses. Who Should Apply The participants selected will be from developing countries that are supported by USAID. To find out if your country is supported by USAID, go to: www.usaid.gov/our_work/global_health/pop/countries/index.html. Application Information The deadline for applying is Feb. 4, 2010.
