The Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder and the Public Entity Risk Institute with support from from the National Science Foundation and Swiss Re established a program that awards dissertation fellowships for work in all aspects of natural and human-made hazards, risk and disasters in all disciplines. The dissertations produced by the fellows will contribute to the body of knowledge in hazards research. Ultimately, the program will foster the development of hazards scholars who will expand the research and practitioner communities.

We awarded 10 fellowships in 2004, 8 in 2006, and another 5 in 2008! Now we are seeking applications for the next round. Deadline: February 1, 2009
