S4 is keen to support the ongoing use and application of spatial analysis tools in S4 Fellow research. Aside from informal mentoring and training, S4 offers up to five grants of $500 each, to be awarded on a competitive basis. These are intended for S4 Fellows presenting a research paper using GIS/spatial analysis methods or to defray costs associated with spatial aspects of dissertation related research, or taking part in a GIS/spatial analysis training workshop, institute, or short course.

To apply, please submit:

Basic information (what, when, where)
A copy of your paper abstract and title, if applicable
A short (200-250 word) explanation how this experience will be helpful 
An estimated budget and an indication whether you have other sources of funding
If seeking financial assistance for a training course, please provide a short description of the course and its use to you

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year.  Materials should be submitted to Kevin Mwenda.
