Graduate Research Environmental Fellowships (GREF)
The GREF program began in June 1999 to support graduate students in the Office of Biological and Environmental Research-funded collaborative global change research at universities and national laboratories. All qualified students are encouraged to apply, but minority and female students are particularly encouraged. The fellowship program makes three-year appointments, renewable annually, and pays an annual stipend of $19,200 ($1,500 monthly plus a $600 Research Education Supplement in March and October), and tuition and fees. Graduate students selected for GREF are encouraged to participate in the SURE 2008 orientation and research focus sessions. If you decide to participate, GREF will pay transportation, per diem and lodging. Applicants must have completed their first year in graduate school. Applicants are required to complete the application form, and submit a five-page description of proposed research, letters of recommendation from the two mentors and an outside individual, and undergraduate and graduate transcripts. The submission of applications will begin on October 1, 2007. The deadline for applications is midnight EST February 4, 2008. Announcement of fellowships awards will be made in April 2008. The annual fellowship renewal application depends on evidence of the Fellow’s satisfactory academic and research direction and progress. An important aspect of the GREF project will be the encouragement of interdisciplinary work among colleges, universities, and national laboratories involved in global change research efforts. Proposed doctoral research projects that bridge the gaps between the various GCEP programmatic research efforts will be particularly welcome. GREF Fellows have two mentors: a university faculty advisor and a national laboratory researcher who collaboratively guide the research activities. Successful applicants will be asked to give a presentation of their research efforts at a GREF workshop to be held at the end of the summer session. |
