It is the time of year to get the word out about the Graduate Research Fellowship competition to students. In the 2012 competition, we anticipate 9 openings for master's degree students and Ph.D. candidates at 9 National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERRs). The NERRs' Graduate Research Fellowship program offers qualified master's and doctoral students the opportunity to address to address natural or social science research questions at local, regional, or national scales. Proposals may be submitted for 1, 2, or 3 year projects and are based on the student's interest, Reserve's local needs, and the Reserve System's national priorities. Fellows conduct their research within a National Estuarine Research Reserve(s) and gain hands-on experience today for a better coast tomorrow. The result is high-quality research focused on improving coastal management issues and enhancing our understanding of estuarine ecosystems.
The program website is found here: http://www.nerrs.noaa.gov/Fellowship.aspx. Interested students should contact the Research Coordinators at the National Estuarine Research Reserves where they propose to study - contact information for On-Site Reserve Staff is contained in the funding announcement. Proposals may be submitted for up to three years of funding and may focus on a single reserve or multiple reserves. The program's federal funding opportunity number is NOAA-NOS-OCRM-2012-2003083 and the deadline for applications is November 1, 2011.
