I am forwarding this message from Dale Jaimeson on to FEAST as those on the list may know of appropriate scholars for this program. --Chaone



NYU has a program to offer fellowships to "scholars at risk." the broad outlines are pasted in below.  if you have any suggestions for environmental scholars who may qualify for this program, please contact me.  cheers, dale

**********
The fellowships are available to support temporary visits to NYU of up to one
year by professors, lecturers, researchers and other intellectuals who have
shown potential as important contributors to their discipline and community,
and who suffer intimidation or persecution in their home country or country of
current residence.

Fellowships are expected to last for a maximum of one year. Fellows will be
appointed through the inviting host center, department or school. Award
amounts will vary based on the fellow's level and needs, as well as other
available support. Total fellowship awards will be in the range of $50,000 -
$70,000 per annum (including fringes and any additional host support).
