International research/travel opps for PhD SW students

[OneMoreDegree]

Hello All:

 

I've posted a little, but mostly lurk.  I'm wondering if any of you know about travel/research opps for sw students (PhD pref.).  I traveled for my MSW, and am hoping to procure a similar opportunity for the PhD.  I'm not sure if most of the experiences are only available to postdocs, or at what point a person begins looking/applying so looking for guidance (or direction to an existing post).

 

about me:  aMy MSW is from a top ranked school, i'm accepted to a "smaller?" program at a state school for PhD. I have full funding, without teaching expectations for year 1 and 4.  My director did a fullbright, so I'll talk to her more about that, but am interested in  learning from any of you who have applied or are applying.  My research interests are: program development and evaluation, youth with chronic health conditions, and youth transitioning from foster care and/or from the pediatric to adult health care system. 

 

I have 1 year experience in research in a split hospital/university setting, 2 years supervision experience in foster care, 2 years training/technical assistance training in child welfare (state university, federal grant collab), and 4 years advocacy experience.

 

Thank you,

I know UC Berkeley has some international opportunities!
