The Hogg Foundation for Mental Health invites doctoral students from The University of Texas at Austin to apply for the Harry E. and Bernice M. Moore Fellowship.

To be eligible for the fellowship, candidates must be in the process of completing a dissertation on the human experience in crises, including those resulting from natural or other major disasters or, more broadly, stress and adversity. This fellowship reflects Dr. Harry E. Moore’s concern for and sociological contributions to the study of the human experience in crisis.

The Moore Fellowship award is unrestricted. The fellow is not required to work as a condition of the award. However, upon completion of the dissertation, the fellow must submit a copy of the dissertation to the Hogg Foundation. There are no restrictions on other awards or employment that the fellow may obtain.

Eligibility
Applicants must have successfully defended their dissertation proposal by the time of their application. Applicants must have a strong research background. Only doctoral candidates from The University of Texas at Austin may apply. Dissertations may be quantitative or qualitative in design.

Award
The fellow will receive a one-time award of $20,000.

Deadline
The deadline for this year's submissions was 5:00 p.m. CST on February 23, 2009. The fellowship year is June 1, 2009, through May 31, 2010.
