The Green Harbor Prize is a $500 award sponsored by Green Harbor Financial to support anthropological fieldwork on economic activities that are sustainable, eco-friendly, culturally sensitive, committed to community engagement, and/or socially responsible.  This is intended as supplemental funding for Ph.D. candidates doing their field research, and will only be awarded to students who are (or will be) in a position to use the funds for fieldwork-related expenses. Only students in graduate programs located in the states listed at the bottom of this website will be eligible.

Preference will be given to proposals that explore the actual or theoretical linkages between the proposed anthropological research and the field of socially responsible investing.  Such exploration may be provisional.  The research does not have to be on or about investment per se.

Please submit:

1.  A research proposal with a descriptive title, and including a statement about how the knowledge generated by the project may be applicable outside of academics (total maximum length of 5 double-spaced pages, not including bibliography);

2.  The phone numbers and e-mail addresses of two professional references, specifying one as your primary advisor; and

3.  A curriculum vitae, which would include your own contact information.

Submission by e -mail is required.  The proposal and CV may be in MS Word, rtf, or pdf formats; reference contact information may be included in the text of the e-mail.  Submissions should be made to cm@greenharborfinancial.com, subject line "Green Harbor Prize Application -- [Your last name]."  

Applications will be accepted until April 30, 2009, with a final decision expected by May 19, 2009.
