---------- Announcement --------------
The Smith Richardson Foundation is pleased to announce its annual Strategy and Policy Fellows grant competition to support young scholars and policy thinkers on American foreign policy, international relations, international security, military policy, and diplomatic and military history.
The purpose of the program is to strengthen the U.S. community of scholars and researchers conducting policy analysis in these fields.
The Foundation will award at least three research grants of $60,000 each to enable the recipients to research and write a book. Within the academic community, this program supports junior or adjunct faculty, research associates, and post-docs who are engaged in policy-relevant research and writing. Within the think tank community, the program supports members of the rising generation of policy thinkers who are focused on U.S. strategic and foreign policy issues.
Applicants must be an employee or affiliate of either an academic institution or a think tank.
Please note that the Fellowship program will only consider single-author book projects. It will not consider collaborative projects (e.g., edited or multi-authored books, conference volumes or reports, or a collection of previously published articles, chapters or essays.)
The deadline is June 15, 2015.

Comments
Looking through book dedications in Google books. Is there anyone who hasn't gotten a Smith Richardson foundation grant? Is that why some of the questions I've been asking about the intellectual and DC insider background to 'big COIN' been, well, somewhat ignored over the years? Or am I being difficult again? (May I always be difficult.) Nothing wrong with getting a grant but I do wonder about a certain intellectual radio silence.
