About Tiny Beam Fund Burning Questions Fellowship Awards

Fellowships for Academic Researchers Interested in Helping to Address Problems Generated by Industrial Animal Agriculture [a.k.a. Factory Farming], Especially Those Related to Low- and Middle-Income Countries

* These fellowships focus on a set of “burning questions” from individuals who are tackling and trying to find solutions to industrial food animal production’s negative impacts (from poor animal welfare, environmental pollution, to other serious problems), particularly in developing countries.

* Fellowships are offered to individuals. They are meant for academic researchers (including independent scholars). Applicants must hold PhD/doctoral degree or be PhD/doctoral students working on their dissertations or theses.

There are no restrictions as to applicants’ residence, citizenship, or location.

* 3 categories of fellowship awards: US$25,000 (for a team of 2-4 researchers); $20,000 (for an individual with PhD); $15,000 (for an individual enrolled in a PhD program and writing a dissertation).

* Award period is four months. Winners can choose their own start date (preferably no later than August 15, 2020).

* main task of a fellowship recipient during the award period is to prepare one 5,000 – 7,000 words report which we call Guidance Memo. (Guidance Memos are written in plain language to assist those tackling problems. They should provide sound information and clear explanations that deepen readers’ understanding of the issues addressed, highlight key considerations that they may not be aware of, and offer practical advice that aids their work and decision-making.) Guidance Memos must be directly relevant to the “burning questions”.
