Deadline: Applications
must be received by February 28, 2014.
USINDO is pleased
to announce a call for applications for the 2014 Sumitro Fellows Program.
The Sumitro Fellows
Program is a $10,000
travel/study grant for post-doctoral scholars, PhD candidates,
senior academics, and otherwise professionally qualified candidates to engage
in field research.
- One Fellowship is awarded to a United States citizen/permanent resident for an outstanding research project relating to improving understanding of the political economy of Indonesia.
- A second Fellowship is awarded to an Indonesian citizen for an outstanding research project contributing to understanding or advancing the Indonesian-United States relationship.
The Sumitro Fellows program
honors Dr. Sumitro
Djojohadikusumo, the architect of Indonesia's modern
economy and co-founder of USINDO, who passed away in 2001. Professor
Sumitro headed the faculty of economics at the University of Indonesia, and was
later Minister of Trade and Minister of State for Research.
Professor Sumitro was also the
driving force behind a 1950's program of the Ford Foundation which sent
Indonesian economists to the U.S. for advanced degrees. Many attended the
University of California at Berkeley and the group came to be known as the
"Berkeley Mafia" when its members assumed key cabinet posts in
subsequent decades and contributed powerfully to Indonesia's development in the
New Order period.
