The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) in Annapolis, Maryland invites proposals from highly qualified PhD students interested in conducting collaborative, socio-environmental synthesis research (i.e. “Graduate Pursuits”).
Graduate Pursuits are supported for a period of 18 months. Support centers around travel, meals, and lodging for 3–4 in-person meetings at SESYNC, but also includes a suite of services ranging from team facilitation and leadership training, to computational and cyber infrastructure resources, to science communication and outreach.
SESYNC is particularly interested in Graduate Pursuit proposals that bring together diverse backgrounds and disciplines as well as diverse sources of data in novel, integrative ways to solve pressing environmental issues. Graduate Pursuit proposals that are designed to be applicable or generalizable across multiple locations and scales in addition to those with potential to contribute to decision-making and non-academic communities are also of special interest.
The full Request for Proposals can be found here. Proposals are due May 15, 2018.
