communication and team skills, and discuss emerging research, societal
and professional issues with each other and with established researchers
invited to serve as mentors.
Participation will be limited to thirty-four early career scholars
identified by an interdisciplinary committee of research scientists
based on review of submitted applications.
*Eligibility*: Ph.D. requirements completed April 1, 2006 - March 31,
2008. We encourage applicants from the natural and social sciences,
economics, mathematics, engineering, or any other field so long as the

solutions. /Selection will favor those with interdisciplinary,
collaborative interests. /While the emphasis is on the U.S. research
