Every year, the DeVoe L. Moore Center for the Study of Critical Issues in Economic Policy and Government sponsors a dissertation fellowship competition open to doctoral students in the College of Social Sciences who have been admitted to candidacy. Students writing dissertations on subjects related to the Center's mission are encouraged to apply, although preference will be given to dissertations evaluating the impacts of state and local regulations.

The Fellowship offers a $17,500 stipend for 12 months, during which time the recipient is to devote full time to dissertation research. The application requires a prospectus that concisely describes the problems and clearly identifies methods and data to be used in the analysis (not to exceed 15 pages), and a letter of support from the supervising professor. Applicants may also be eligible for a supplemental grant to cover required research expenses.

Inquiries and applications should be sent to Keith Ihlanfeldt, Director of the DeVoe L. Moore Center, via e-mail (kihlanfe@mailer.fsu.edu) or by calling the DeVoe L. Moore Center at (850) 644-3848.
