The Carleton University Research Office (CURO) felt this funding
opportunity may be of relevance to you:

*Program:* Open Society Fellowship

*Agency Deadline: *August 4, 2014

*Funding Available:  *Maximum: $100,000 USD stipend

*Please refer to the CURO announcement for details*:
http://www.carleton.ca/curo/2014/funding-opp-open-society-foundations/   or
see below for details.



*Background*

The Open Society Fellowship was founded in 2008 to support individuals
pursuing innovative and unconventional approaches to fundamental open
society challenges.

*Opportunity*

The fellowship funds activity that will enrich public understanding of
fundamental open society challenges, that stimulate far-reaching and
probing conversations within the Open Society Foundations and in the world.

The fellowship seeks “idea entrepreneurs” from across the world who are
ready to challenge conventional wisdom.  A fellowship project might
identify a problem that has not previously been recognized, develop new
policy ideas to address familiar problems, or offer a new advocacy
strategy. Fellows should take advantage of the considerable intellectual
and logistical resources of the Open Society Foundations and expect to
contribute meaningfully to the Foundations' thinking in return.  Among the
Foundations' core areas of concern are human rights, government
transparency, access to information, access to justice, the promotion of
civil society and social inclusion. Project themes should cut across these
areas of interest. Applicants are encouraged to explore this website to
acquaint themselves with the panoply of themes and geographic areas that
fall within the Foundations' purview
<http://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/>.  Applicants who are uncertain
whether their topic fits within the Foundations' focus areas are invited to
submit a brief letter of inquiry, accompanied by a CV, before proceeding
with the online application process. That letter of inquiry should be
addressed to: OSFellows at opensocietyfoundations.org. Letters of inquiry must
be submitted at least one month before the next application deadline.

*Eligibility*

The Open Society Fellowship accepts proposals from anywhere in the world.
Applicants should possess a deep understanding of their chosen subject and
a track record of professional accomplishment. Past and current fellows
have included journalists, activists, academics, and practitioners in a
variety of fields. Successful applicants will be eager to exploit the many
resources offered by the Open Society Foundations and be prepared to engage
constructively with our global network. Ideal fellows are specialists who
can see beyond the parochialisms of their field and possess the tenacity to
complete a project of exceptional merit. Proficiency in spoken English is
required.



This is a fellowship for individuals only; proposals from two or more
applicants will not be accepted.

*Funding Available*

   - Maximum amount: $80,000 or $100,000 USD stipend depending on work
   experience, current income and seniority plus project budget.
