Finding A Host Institution

Q: Do you have any recommendations how/where I should look for potential hosting institutions?

A:  Each institution can submit only up to two applications. Therefore, many institutions probably will have internal competitions to determine which two applications to send forward. Several institutions have posted their internal competition process online and these may be found through internet searches. In addition, you may wish to contact institutions where you feel your own research would complement and enhance existing research strengths. Appropriate initial points of contact about research area suitability would be deans of research (or equivalents) or department chairs. A reasonable initial point of inquiry about any internal competition would be the institution’s office of sponsored research (or equivalent).
