| Description: | The SDE/GWIS National Fellowships Program is proud to offer fellowships in 2013 to help increase knowledge in the fundamental sciences and to encourage research careers in the sciences by women. Endowment funds, mostly generated from bequests, provide the annual income that supports scientific research done by SDE/GWIS award winners. Last cycle, we distributed just under $70,000 in fellowship funds to ten deserving women scientists. The SDE/GWIS National Council will determine exact fellowship amounts with the maximum allowable award being $10,000. Expected Qualifications of the Candidate: Awards will be made to women holding a degree from a recognized institution of higher learning, of outstanding ability and promise in research, who are performing research at any institution in the U.S. or abroad. Career level (e.g. graduate student vs. assistant professor) of the candidate will be taken into consideration when reviewing the proposals. Awards will be made irrespective of race, religion, nationality, creed, national origin, sexual orientation, or age. Active SDE/GWIS membership (http://www.gwis.org/application.html) is encouraged at the time of and throughout the duration of funding. Membership must include both chapter and National dues. Award Designations: The Fellowships are to be known as the Sigma Delta Epsilon (SDE), Eloise Gerry, Vessa Notchev and Nell I. Mondy Fellowships. The highest scoring SDE Fellowships designee shall be known as the Adele Lewis Grant/SDE Fellowships winner and the second-best scoring designee shall be known as the Hartley Corporation/SDE Fellowships Winner. The funds available in any one year shall be the income from and contributions to the endowment accounts. The amount thus varies from year to year. The Fellowships Committee reserves the right to make no awards if no satisfactory applicants present themselves. All applicants must be women scientists who have already completed a bachelor's degree, and are conducting research in the natural sciences. Second, all applicants are encouraged to be SDE/GWIS members at the time of the application. For those that are not members, there is a $50 application fee that must be paid in US dollars prior to submission of the application.
