The Office of the Vice President for Research, in cooperation with the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI), is initiating a competition for funds to support doctoral students who conduct their dissertation research at UMTRI in a transportation-related research discipline involving collaboration of school/college faculty and UMTRI faculty.
Purpose: The purpose of the Doctoral Studies Program at UMTRI (DSP-UMTRI) is to increase the opportunity for doctoral students to perform their dissertation research in UMTRI's diverse and dynamic research environment. Additional, but equally important objectives, are to increase research collaborations between UMTRI faculty and school/college faculty throughout the University of Michigan and to stimulate new research and funding initiatives involving doctoral students and faculty.

Short term fellowships (STF) are available to enable selected candidates to visit and work in the tropics and explore the possibilities for research at STRI. The main fields of research of the STRI scientific staff are ecology, behavior and evolution of terrestrial and marine organisms, archeology, paleontology and human ecology. The majority of these fellowships are awarded to graduate students, but awards are occasionally made to undergraduates and postdoctoral candidates.
