The program, now in its first year, is based at the ICTE headquarters in New York City. We will review applications in February 2006 and issue invitations to two researchers by the end of March for the following academic year (September, 2006 through May, 2007). The focus is on scholars doing tolerance-linked interdisciplinary work in either early childhood education or in women's human rights. We recognize the breadth of the description, but we are eager to cast a wide net in the early years of the initiative as we gain experience and visibility in the academic community. We are advised in this effort by a small selection committee of academic colleagues.
