2003 Student-Faculty Fellows Program
In Spring 2003, 57 students and faculty mentors comprising 12 research teams from ASIANetwork member institutions were awarded the fellowship grant that would support collaborative research in six Asian countries for at least three weeks during the next summer: five to China, two to Japan, one to South Korea, one to Taiwan, one to Thailand and two to Vietnam. However, because of the SARS situation in Asia, all ASIANetwork administered travels to Asia were postponed. Five teams did field research between December 2003 and February 2004, while seven teams undertook field work during the summer of 2004.
