Fourth Annual Claude Ake Memorial Awards Program for Young & Mid-Career African Scholars-Activists Deadline: June 25, 2003 The Claude Ake Memorial Awards Program seeks to encourage young and mid-career African scholars-activists to carry out research, reflection and writing about their ideas and activities. The award is intended for Africans, working in Africa, who are engaged in knowledge-based and reality-informed problem solving to address the continent s development challenges, in the tradition of Claude Ake. It will support research projects that are applicable to a country, region, or other defined setting within Africa. Successful applicants will receive stipends of $6,000 for innovative research aimed at meeting challenges that face the continent of Africa. In addition, Ake Scholars will travel to the U.S. on or about October 27 to attend the African Studies Association s (ASA) Annual Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, where they will present their research to a representative cross section of the Africanist community from around the world. Following the ASA Meeting, from October 31 to November 13, award recipients will travel to various American college campuses where they will network with community and faculty members who have similar research or advocacy interests.
