Open Call for Research Fellowships 2012
Application Deadline: February 15, 2012
The fellowship programs are designed to provide funding for graduate students, but may also be appropriate for college faculty, undergrads, agency scientists, and private-sector researchers.
A researcher may submit an application requesting up to $8000 to be used over one or two years.
If you plan to work in or near Denali National Park and Preserve, submit one application to be considered for either a Discover Denali Research Fellowship (Denali only) or a Murie Science and Learning Center Research Fellowship (you may be selected for either fellowship, but not both in a single year).
If you plan to work in one or more arctic and subarctic parks other than Denali, submit an application for a Murie Science and Learning Center Research Fellowship.
See detailed descriptions of the two fellowships below. An application cover page [this is the 2012 cover page] must be submitted with an application.
