[liberationtech] Funding Opportunities

[Yosem Companys]

From: Alma Aliaj <aaliaj at USAID.GOV>

I wanted to share several exciting funding opportunities with you all, both 
within USAID and through external patners. As always please share these 
with your colleagues and interested students!

1 - Conflict and Development at Texas A&M has a unique student grant 
opportunity for any student at an accredited university worldwide. Students 
can earn up to $5000. The deadline for applications is May 14, 2014.

The Student Media Grants Program is an annual photojournalism grant awarded 
to students interested in using innovative methods to research and 
chronicle issues facing fragile and conflict-affected nations. Interested 
students should submit a proposal by May 14, 2014, that outlines their 
intended use of grant funds, with details about locations to be visited, 
issues to be studied, how the funds will be used and any special needs. 
They should choose an international development area that reflects issues 
of food insecurity, health, education, land tenure, poverty, and other 
issues faced by people in fragile and conflict-affected nations.

2 - Michigan State University's Global Center for Food Systems Innovation 
intends to issue a Request for Application (RFA) in April, 2014. The goal 
of this RFA will be to create innovation in the global food system by 
finding, incubating and evaluating new and potentially disruptive knowledge 
and technology based solutions to development challenges, with an emphasis 
on problems deriving from population growth, climate change and 
urbanization. GCFSI will provide funding of up to $2,050,000 through three 
levels of grants in one RFA.

3 - The Africa Engineering Prize is a new prize program sponsored by the 
Royal Academy for Engineering, and is intended to spotlight and support 
African engineers working on development challenges.
