Ford Foundation Fellowship Programs Ford Foundation
Fellowship Programs
Information Session
October 6, 2017
2:00-4:00 p.m.
Illini Union, Room 104
Register Here.
To enhance diversity in higher education, the Ford Foundation offers predoctoral, dissertation, and postdoctoral fellowships. Ford Fellowships are among the most celebrated of awards available to doctoral students in the United States. Students who demonstrate sustained personal engagement with underrepresented communities and who are members of the following groups are particularly encouraged to apply: Alaska Natives, African Americans, Mexican Americans, Native American Indians, Native Pacific Islanders, and Puerto Ricans. All research oriented disciplines are eligible.
Not only do Ford Fellowships offer excellent funding packages, they also welcome students into a vibrant community of scholars. See a video here of faculty from around the country as they discuss the long-lasting value of the Ford fellowships they won as graduate students.
Did you know we have several Ford Fellows on campus? Meet three of them here.
The Graduate College Office of External Fellowships will hold an information session on the Ford Fellowship programs, and it will feature Dr. Aixa Alfonso, the Ford Foundation’s Regional Liaison and Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago. It will also feature current fellows Vanessa Rivera-Quinones (Mathematics) and Elena Catalina Montoto-Blanco (Chemistry). Students considering applying are strongly encouraged to attend the information session. Ford’s application deadlines are in early December.

Microbiome rRNA Amplicon Analysis Workshop HPCBio is announcing a workshop for microbiome rRNA analysis that teaches bioinformatics skills to investigate amplicon sequencing data. This workshop first aims to familiarize attendees with basic Linux commands necessary to run microbiome analysis programs, and to give an introduction to amplicon design and sequencing. Attendees will then learn how to perform upstream (preprocessing, OTU picking, alignment & tree building) and downstream (diversity analyses, visualizations, & statistical methods) analyses while practicing on a provided amplicon sequencing dataset.
