In
2006 the NMNH fellowship community counted 123.
Fellows include graduate and post graduates
(35), visiting students and scholars
(42), external fellows (4) as well as those
with an academic appointment as Research Student
(42). Excluding Research Student appointments,
there were 47 fellowship appointments that carried
over from the previous year (2005) and there
were 45 new fellowship appointments started
(registered) during 2006. Of the 2006 fellowship
appointments, 32 carried over into the new year
(2007). There were 9 new Research Student appointments
in 2006.
Fellows
include graduate students as well as pre- and
postdoctoral; senior and community scholars
selected for an academic appointment at Smithsonian's
National Museum of Natural History. Some fellows
are in-residence full time while others are
mainly off-site, but working under the guidance
of an NMNH scientist and visiting the Museum.
The
term "Smithsonian Fellow" is
used only for those individuals awarded a Smithsonian
fellowship. The term Visiting Student
is used for predoctoral level students funded
through other grants and the term Visiting
Scientist/Visiting Scholar designates postdoctoral
level researchers.
The
title of Research Student is an academic
appointment awarded by the NMNH. This appointment
type encompasses those individuals who are actively
pursuing their education at a college or university
but have not yet achieved professional status.
The formal designation "Student" acknowledges
active collaboration between an individual and
NMNH staff. Research Students can be undergraduate
or graduate level students.
This list includes name and affiliated institution
during their appointment, the title of their
fellowship research, the name of the supervisor/sponsoring
NMNH staff, the assigned NMNH unit/office in
which the research is being conducted, and the
dates of the appointment.
