2013 Student-Faculty Fellows Program
ASIANetwork is pleased to announce that financial support has been provided by the Freeman Foundation to run the 15th “Student-Faculty Fellows Program” to support undergraduate research in Asia during the summer of 2013. The summer 2013 program will support the work of approximately ten research groups, totaling approximately sixty people (students and mentors combined). As stipulated by the Freeman Foundation, research should be in East and Southeast Asia, those areas bordered by Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines in the south and west (which include Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia), and then north to include Taiwan, Hong Kong S.A.R., China, Japan, and Korea. Studies in Nepal are also welcome. Only proposals from U.S. institutions that have been ASIANetwork members during the year immediately prior to the application (AY 2011-2012) will be considered.
