Guest guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kartik Sundar. I am currently studying Masters in Managerial Logistics at North Dakota State University in US. I sought to apply for the Fulbright Research Scholarship and picked India as the host county. A major portion of my Fulbright thesis is concentrated on non-profit organizations such as the Sai Baba Medical Hospital and conduct research relevant to the logistics involved in the outreach programs conducted by the hospital to transport medical supplies to rural areas. I plan to create an organizational model for a non-profit organization that can focus on core logistics and transportation and work hand in hand with hospitals as well as funding companies. So essentially it is to develop a non-profit, volunteer-driven model that could be used as a conduit between for example, between a hospital and a funding company such as Infosys, TCS, etc. To provide more details regarding my project idea I have attached my personal statement as well as grant statement that I intend to use in my application for the Fulbright scholarship research grant. Through the application process I learned that I need to be affiliated with an individual from an institution of higher learning in India and possibly with an organization that relevant to my research. My natural choices were to get affiliated with Sai Baba Medical Hospital and Sri Satya Sai Institute. But over the last couple of weeks I have been struggling to establish contact with both, and was wondering if any of you have contacts that can help me acquire affiliation letters. The letter would essentially convey that someone from a college of higher learning/hospital would be willing to guide me or work with me in pursuing the project goals. The Fulbright research scholarship is a highly prestigious opportunity that is acknowledged globally, and I wish to obtain it in order to drive logistical changes so that it can increase efficiencies in the non-profit world. As stated earlier, the purpose of this project is clearly humanitarian and focuses on non-profit. I would greatly appreciate it if you can help me out. Please let me know. Thanks. Sincerely, Kartik Sundar 2 of 2 File(s) Grant Personal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
