NSF/OPP 2006 Postdoctoral Fellowships in Polar Regions Research - due 15 Apr
The NSF Office Of Polar Programs (OPP) offers Postdoctoral Fellowships in Polar Regions Research to support training and research on any aspect of scientific study of the Antarctic and/or the Arctic. The program separately offers travel grants so that persons otherwise eligible to apply for the fellowships may first visit prospective sponsoring scientists at their organizations.
The program develops and trains early-career scientists in polar regions research with concomitant goals to:
- Support innovative research in emerging areas;
- Introduce new investigators to research in the polar regions;
- Encourage interdisciplinary research;
- Foster activities that create broader impacts for science and society;
- Increase the participation of underrepresented groups in polar regions research.
Fellowship proposal deadline: April 15, 2006. Travel Grant requests can be submitted at any time provided they are received at least three months prior to the proposed travel dates. Travel grant requests review and recommendation for award are expected to occur within two months of submission to enable timely travel; however, early submission of travel grant proposals, with respect to the proposed travel dates and the fellowship proposal deadlines, is strongly recommended. Contacts and program details are available at http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5650&org=OPP&from=home.
