Apply by February 17 | Wallenberg Summer Travel Awards (funding for service-oriented projects abroad)

Purpose
The Executive Committee of the Wallenberg Endowment is sponsoring the Raoul Wallenberg International Summer Travel Awards. While a student at the University of Michigan in the 1930s, Raoul Wallenberg traveled across North America to observe and learn from people of all kinds on their own terms. This experience helped him understand the human condition and shaped his life-long concern for human dignity and humanitarian values. His heroic efforts to rescue the surviving Jews of Budapest are an inspiring demonstration of how one individual can make a difference, even under the most dire circumstances.

In the spirit of Raoul Wallenberg's experience at Michigan, the Wallenberg International Summer Travel Award will allow selected students to take part in a community service project or civic participation anywhere in the world. The award will support such experiences as, for instance, volunteer with a humanitarian organization such as a school, clinic, or aid program, or the exploration of humanitarian issues not well understood in the United States.

Projects should be at least four weeks in duration and take place outside of the U.S. between May and August of the current application cycle. The University's international travel policies will be followed.

Awards 
A total of five awards will be given this year to cover transportation, room and board, and local excursions made in connection with the project:

Four undergraduate awards of $2,000 each
One Bagramian Award ($2,500) for a graduate student pursuing a project related to the field of public health

The application deadline is February 17, 2014 by 11:59 PM.

For more information and for the application, please visit MCompass.

UMSI GIEP: Spend Summer 2014 in India - Deadline to Apply October 15

 

What: The Global Information Engagement Program (GIEP) is a summer experience where students, in teams of two to four, work on real-world problems that have been proposed by partner organizations in India. Students will be matched to projects and organization partners based on their application, or can propose a project.
Who: Graduate students from the University of Michigan are welcome to apply. Projects require a range of skill sets and knowledge, so students from all programs are encouraged to participate. Students selected for the program will work in multi-disciplinary groups of two to four and will primarily come from the School of Information, which is the sponsoring academic unit.
Projects: Project partners include organizations such as the Alternative Law Forum, the National Institute of Speech and Hearing, Jaaga, The Centre for Internet and Society, and Digital Green. Other organizations come from a wide range of industries, but all projects have high social impact outcomes.
Projects submitted include the following:

• The development of an online forum to facilitate a legal network of human rights lawyers. The forum will work as a means to collectively generate resources that can feed into ways in which creative arguments and procedural strategies could be deployed towards social issues, and will serve as a platform for connecting lawyers, enabling the creation and exchange of resource materials.
• The creation of a platform for community knowledge workers to help develop skills required to deliver content effectively to rural farming communities and improve their self-knowledge of agricultural practices. Knowledge workers will also be able to develop and share educational tools developed via the platform.
• Research and a written review of e-Governance assessment frameworks with the purpose of identifying relevant indicators from the perspective stakeholders in the government service delivery value chain, with a focus on grassroots service delivery unit and provider, as well as the various stages/activities involved in the delivery process.
• The evaluation of market readiness and implementation of a health care performance measure product, to help bring India to the global standards for health care delivery. The product potentially would aggregate publicly reported data on various performance measures focused on health outcomes, patient experience, process of care, cost of care and financial performance across the entire population of acute care hospitals.

A full range of projects can be viewed here.
When: Student applications are due October 15 through MCompass. Students will be required to take part in a series of preparatory meetings in Winter term and will leave for India the first week of May. Students will stay in India for 6 to 12 weeks depending on project.
Costs: The program will be free to those students selected.
Course Enrollment and Credit: Students will receive 6 credits for pre-departure activities and the in-country experience through enrollment in SI 681 in Winter 2014. Upon return to Michigan, students can elect to enroll in independent study to further their project or engage in research for publication or conference presentations.
Interested students should email umsi.giep@umich.edu to indicate interest or with questions.

Deadline for Student Team Applications: October 15, 2013 (application information forthcoming)

The need for innovative information tools is a global challenge. 

As part of the Global Information Engagement Program, students (in project teams) will spend 6 to 12 weeks in India during Summer 2014, studying and implementing a feasible and sustainable solution to an information challenge suggested by a partner organization. This  could take the form of a strategic report, a technological tool, or an information system design depending on the specific challenge being addressed.  Student teams also have the option to initiate/propose a project during Fall 2013.

Students will engage in cultural aspects of India and coursework that prepares them for success as a global information professional.  Students will prepare for their time in India by studying the identified information challenge and developing a framework for engagement during the Winter 2014 term in the form of a series of preparatory sessions.

The objective of GIEP is to use information and technology skills to deal with a contemporary social concern.  Students will go through a competitive process in selecting the problems they intend to work on in summer.

Course Enrollment and Credit:  Students are required to participate in a range of pre-departure activities during Winter 2014 term, starting in March. Students will receive 6 credits for pre-departure activities and the in-country experience through enrollment in SI 681 in Winter 2014. 

Upon return to Michigan, students can elect to enroll in independent study to further their project, or engage in research for publication or conference presentations.

Program highlights:

• High impact project opportunities with a range of organizations in the private and public sectors in India
• Opportunity to innovate with an experience in which students get to own a project and manage it with the guidance of industry experts, users, and UMSI faculty
• Development of a range of unique skills in a project that hits the ground running and takes students through various organizational and functional roles of a global information professional
• In-depth cultural experience in a country with a rapidly growing economy and technology sector
• Best Project Award which will include a monetary prize and assistance with commercialization where applicable

Participants: Program design and capacity allows for approximately 15-18 University of Michigan students primarily from the School of Information to travel to India. Student teams are able to and encouraged to recruit graduate students from other UM programs to round out skill sets.  

Student cost/expense:  If selected to participate, student will be expected to cover personal expenses.  The School will cover transportation to India, lodging in India, and will provide support for in-country travel and meals required for project success. 

Project selection:

• Students can select to apply for a developed project posted by an organization (projects will be posted on Ctools) OR propose a team-initiated project with a partner in India. 
• If students are self-initiating a project with a partner instead of choosing from one of the existing projects, significant commitment from the partner group will need to be demonstrated.
• Student are required to self-organize into teams of two to four using the Ctools site; multiple groups can apply to work on a project posted by a single project,  but in such a case only one group per project will be selected
• Once selected, students teams will need to provide a work plan in agreement with their partner in India completed by December 1, 2013

Project matching:  The program allows for approximately 15-18 student participants.  Student teams will be matched to projects based on application, skill set, and interest.  Team-initiated projects will be thoroughly vetted by GIEP leadership before acceptance.  The application process is competitive and there are no guarantees for selection into the program. More details on the application process will be available on the project Ctools site to be posted shortly.

Student eligibility:

• Students must be currently enrolled in the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
• Students must be in good academic standing 
• Students must apply to participate by the application deadline of October 15, 2013 (via MCompass)
• Students must be in possession of a valid Passport by December 1, 2013

Student selection:

• Students will be selected based on overall quality of application, project selection fit, and ability to commit to participate 
• Students must be able to demonstrate the ability to work in a team setting, under tight-deadlines, and demonstrate adaptability in a range of situations
• Previous international experience desired, but not required

Questions can be sent to umsi.giep@umich.edu.
