THE ECONOMIC CLUB OF WASHINGTON, DC DOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS 2006-2007 DEADLINE: March 31, 2006 Amount of Awards: $10,000 The Economic Club of Washington, DC The Economic Club of Washington was formed in recognition of the unique and critical role that Washington plays in the world economy and of the area's increasing economic diversity and importance as a center of business activity. More than 250 of the area's top business and professional leaders formed The Economic Club of Washington as a nonprofit corporation in 1986 for two primary purposes. First, it offers a forum in which prominent business and government leaders can express their views on the most important economic issues of the day and on how those issues affect the region, the nation, and the world. Second, and equally important, the Club generates and promotes a greater sense of community among business leaders, government officials, and members of the diplomatic corps. Purpose of Award The Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area and The Economic Club of Washington are pleased to announce that The Economic Club of Washington is offering its sixteenth annual Doctoral Research Fellowships.
