Those of you currently funded under an NIH fellowship should read this blog post covering a common error with xTrain termination reports. You’ll have to fill out a termination report in order to close out your fellowship.

January 27, 2012Panton Fellowships – UK-based, support open data in science
January 27, 2012This seems to kind of straddle the line between a job and a fellowship, and the funding agency definitely has a certain political goal. You need to have the right to work in the UK to apply.
Panton Fellowships will provide a year-long fellowship of 8,000 pounds plus a possible supplemental travel budget.
“Fellows may wish to:
-Promote the concept of open data in all areas of science.
-Explore practical solutions for making data open
-Facilitate discussions surrounding the role and value of openness.
-Catalyse the open community, and reach out beyond its traditional core
Eligibility
Eligible applicants will:
-Ideally be graduate students or early career stage scientists. We do however welcome applications from those with non-traditional backgrounds, so if you think you may be eligible, get in touch.
-Hold a valid EU passport/have the right to work in the UK.
-Reasonably expect to be employed and/or studying in a relevant scientific field until March 2013
-Reasonably expect to be based in the UK until March 2013
-Have the consent of employers/funders to be a Panton Fellow whilst continuing to fulfil existing commitments
Applicants should be enthusiastic, self-motivated and proactive, with excellent communication skills.”

If you are applying for a NASA Fellowship
January 25, 2012If you plan to apply for a NASA Fellowship (such as the NESSF 12 that’s due February 1), please be sure to email me (gradadvisor AT ucsd DOT edu) so that I know to look for your proposal in NSPIRES. If you don’t notify me, I won’t know to review and submit your proposal.
Please also note that unless otherwise announced, OGS’s internal deadline for all fellowship proposals is 14 calendar days before the agency deadline. Therefore, if you’re still working on your application, you’ve technically missed our internal deadline, and OGS can no longer guarantee on-time submission of your application. (We’ll still try, of course.) Please email me IMMEDIATELY to let me know of your intent to apply.
I realize I should have posted this deadline here earlier. I mean, our general policy is 14 days beforehand, but I realize that I made a mistake by not announcing this one in advance. So I’ll understand if you’re a little miffed.
Reminder of AWIS Scholarship application deadline
January 25, 2012Back in December, I announced the Association for Women in Science’s current scholarship competition. I just received another notice requesting applications, so I’m wondering if perhaps they aren’t getting as many applications as they’d expected, meaning the competition might not be too fierce. (Please note that this is just speculation on my part. I am in no way guaranteeing you the scholarship!) Anyway, take a look; it’s probably worth applying
Application deadline: February 17, 2012
