>From Candace Greene, of the Smithsonian, and a CMA board member:

I am pleased to announce a new research training initiative being
launched
by the Smithsonian Department of Anthropology with support (pending)
from
the National Science Foundation.

The Summer Institute in Museum Anthropology is an intensive four-week
training program that will teach graduate students how to use museum
collections in research, incorporating Smithsonian collections as an
integral part of their anthropological training. Support from the
Cultural
Anthropology Program at NSF will cover full tuition and living expenses
for 12 students each summer.

Please help us get the word out on this program, which will begin this
summer and is already accepting applications.

Where: Dept of Anthropology, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC
When: June 29 ? July 24, 2009

Full information including application instructions and dates is
available at
