The NERRS Science Collaborative is issuing a call for applicants to TIDES, the new professional Masters program at the University of New Hampshire. The goal of TIDES (Training for the Integration of Decisions and Ecosystem Science) is to enhance the ability of coastal professionals to effectively link coastal and estuarine science to decision making. The emphasis of the program is on setting up and managing collaborative partnerships from the earliest stage of knowledge generation and throughout the research process.
TIDES builds the knowledge and skills needed to connect science with decision making through a combination of course work and a field-based internship at a Reserve in the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS).
Note that the NERRS Science Collaborative is supporting two, fully funded, two-year fellowships that cover tuition, stipend, and health insurance!
This will be the second cohort of grad students for the TIDES program. The first cohort is finishing their first semester and they've had a fantastic experience, as have we. One of our students, Kathryn Rosengren, is profiled in the attached flier.
Please consider posting the attached document about TIDES, and sharing it with your colleagues and students. Applications are now being accepted. Classes begin in late August, 2011.
Please see the attached flier for more information.
Thanks very much!
The NERRS Science Collaborative
