and corruption too often converge.
Revenue Watch promotes transparent, accountable and effective management of natural resource
wealth. RWI takes a comprehensive approach to improving governance and development across
the entire value chain—from the organization of extractive production, revenue generation and
revenue management, through the expenditure processes and development outcomes in resource
rich countries. Please visit our website for more information: www.revenuewatch.org
Revenue Watch seeks individual research consultants to support the data gathering for the 2012
Revenue Watch Index. Researchers associated with research or advocacy institutions in resource
rich countries are also encouraged to apply. Researchers will be responsible for answering a
detailed questionnaire for each country under their responsibility, providing information on the
government’s reporting and disclosure practices and information about the country’s legal
framework for the extractive sector.
Institutions in resource rich countries interested in supporting the Revenue Watch Index would
also be eligible to receive funding for dissemination projects related to the Index after its
completion.
RESEARCH FOCUS: The Revenue Watch Index
The Revenue Watch Index is a tool for measuring transparency across a diverse range of
countries with considerable oil, gas and/or mineral reserves. The Index aims to provide useful
information to help civil society demand higher standards of transparency and accountability in
the extractive sector as well as to guide policymakers with specific recommendations for
responding to such demands.
The Revenue Watch Index 2010 provided information about crucial elements of resource
revenue transparency in 41 countries. Since its publication in early October 2010, the Revenue
Watch Index has got more than 3,000 hits in the RWI website and the report has been one of the
top downloads. As an example of its impact, the government of Trinidad and Tobago mentioned
the Index when it announced its decision to resume implementation of the EITI in early
December 2010. For more information about the RWI index go to:
http://www.revenuewatch.org/rwindex2010.
In its second implementation the Index will cover up to 55 countries in six global regions Africa, Asia-Pacific, Caucasus & Russia, Latin America, the Middle East & North Africa, and
OECD countries. RWI will determine the set of countries in each region, as well as the specific
resource (oil, gas, or mineral) that will be the target of research in each country.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Researchers will cover between one and three countries, depending on their country expertise.
For each of the assigned countries, researchers will complete a detailed questionnaire. In order to
complete the questionnaires, researchers will consult publicly available official documents and
conduct interviews with relevant government officials, civil society activists and local industry
experts. Researchers will provide evidence (including but not limited to official web site links,
governmental reports, academic references and interviews) for their responses. Answers to the
questionnaire should be consistent with the guidelines provided in the Guide to the Revenue
Watch Index Questionnaire, which will be provided to all researchers at the beginning of the
research process. A project management tool will be available for the entire research process.
This tool will provide online access to all the documents necessary for the research and it will
include instructions for researchers. The entire data gathering work, including answers to the
questionnaire, will be conducted using this online platform. RWI will provide assistance to
researchers during the entire process to answer questions about the methodology and ensure high
quality, consistent research.
Once the researchers have completed the questionnaires, RWI will review them for accuracy and
consistency. After this initial vetting process, the questionnaires will be submitted to anonymous
peer reviewers with country expertise, who will cross-check all the answers and communicate
any concerns to RWI and the researcher. Researchers may be asked to provide further evidence
or clarifications in response to concerns raised by peer reviewers. RWI will act as referee when
conflicting answers are suggested to ensure consistency of assumptions across countries.

questionnaire. In order to support each answer, researchers will be expected to supply one or
more of the following:

2012-2013 International Affairs Fellowship in Nuclear Security
Council on Foreign Relations
Location: 58 East 68th Street, New York, New York, 10021, United States
Education requirements: Doctorate (PhD)
Salary details: The program awards a stipend of $125,000.
Benefits: Fellows are not eligible for employment benefits, including health insurance.
Description
The International Affairs Fellowship in Nuclear Security (IAF-NS), sponsored by the Stanton
Foundation, offers university-based scholars valuable hands-on experience in the nuclear
security policymaking field and places researchers in U.S. government positions or international
organizations for a period of twelve months to work with practitioners. The IAF-NS closes the
gap between research and practice and enriches the teaching and scholarship of academics, while
also benefiting policymakers by exposing them to cutting-edge scholarly research.
CFR will award two fellowships in 2012. The fellowships will be awarded on the basis of
academic and professional accomplishments, and on the merits of the specific research projects
proposed. Potential topics appropriate for the fellowship include nuclear terrorism, nuclear
proliferation, nuclear weapons, nuclear force posture, and the security implications of nuclear
energy. During their fellowship tenures, fellows will be invited to attend CFR meetings and
participate in select events, such as the annual International Affairs Fellows Conference in New
York.
The IAF-NS program is only open faculty members with tenure or on tenure-track lines at
accredited universities and who propose to conduct policy-relevant research on nuclear security
issues. Qualified candidates must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are eligible to
work in the United States and be between the ages of twenty-nine and forty. CFR does not
sponsor for visas.
The duration of the fellowship is twelve months, preferably beginning in September and
extending into August. While deferment is typically not granted, requests will be considered
under special circumstances and only for one year. The program awards a stipend of $125,000.
Fellows are considered independent contractors rather than employees of CFR, and are not
eligible for employment benefits, including health insurance.
Nominations for the 2012-2013 competition are due by October 21, 2011, to
fellowships@cfr.org. For more information, please visit

Health Disparities Research Loan Repayment Program
Health & Human Services National Institute of Health
Program Purpose
The purpose of the Health Disparities Research LRP is to recruit and retain highly qualified
health professionals to research careers that focus on minority health or other health disparity
issues. Funding for this LRP is provided through the NIH's National Institute on Minority
Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), which ensures that at least 50 percent of the awards
are made to health professionals who are members of identified health disparity populations.
Program Announcement
See Notice for Extramural Loan Repayment Program for Health Disparities Research (LRPHDR) for program and policy guidance.
Program Eligibility
 Meet general eligibility requirements of the LRPs outlined in the eligibility section of
the site


Have an M.D., Ph.D., Pharm. D., Psy.D., D.O., D.D.S., D.M.D., D.P.M., D.C., N.D.,
D.V.M., or equivalent doctoral degree from an accredited institution
Engage in qualified minority health or other health disparities research
Definitions
Health Disparity Populations
Groups determined by the Director of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health
Disparities (NIMHD), in consultation with the Director of the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ), in which there is significant disparity in the overall rate of
disease incidence, prevalence, morbidity, mortality, or survival as compared to the health
status of the general population. The following populations have been designated as health
disparity populations: Blacks/African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Native Americans,
Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and the medically
underserved (i.e., individuals from the Appalachian region).
Health Disparities Research
Basic, clinical, or behavioral research on a health disparity population (including individual
members and communities of such populations), including the causes of health disparities
and methods to prevent, diagnose, and treat such disparities.
Medically Underserved
A term that refers to individuals who lack access to primary and specialty care either because
they are socioeconomically disadvantaged and may live in areas with high poverty rates or
because they reside in rural areas. The term also refers to individuals who reside in
geographic areas where the Index of Medical Underservice (IMU) is 62 or less. Health
Resource Services Administration (HRSA) criteria designate a service area with an IMU of
62 or less as a "medically underserved area (MUA)." The IMU is a weighted score derived
from four variables: the ratio of primary medical care physicians per 1,000 population, infant
mortality rate, percentage of population below the federal poverty level, and percentage of
the population age 65 years or over.
Minority Health Conditions
Diseases, disorders, and other conditions (including mental health and substance abuse) that
are unique to, more serious, or more prevalent in racial and ethnic minorities, for which the
medical risk factors or types of medical interventions may be different, or research involving
such populations as subjects or data on such individuals is insufficient.
Minority Health Disparities Research
Basic, clinical, or behavioral research on minority health conditions, including research to
prevent, diagnose, and treat such conditions.
