Gulf Research Program Early-Career Research Fellowships

The Gulf Research Program’s Early-Career Research Fellowship supports emerging scientific leaders as they take risks on research ideas not yet tested, pursue unique collaborations, and build a network of colleagues who share their interest in improving offshore energy system safety and the well-being of coastal communities and ecosystems.

Because the early years of a researcher’s career are a critical time, the relatively unrestricted funds and mentoring this fellowship provides help recipients navigate this period with independence, flexibility, and a built-in support network.

Description

To support scientists, engineers, and health professionals working on oil system safety, environmental protection, and human health issues relevant to the Gulf region, the Gulf Research Program will administer Early-Career Research Fellowships. These Early-Career Research Fellowships will contribute to a suite of capacity building activities by facilitating the academic, intellectual, and professional development of individuals who have superior scholarship promise. The fellowship will recognize early-career researchers for past performance and their future potential for substantial contributions to enhancing the protection of environmental and/or human health and/or the pursuit of safer offshore oil and gas operations. The fellowship will provide support for scientists, engineers, and health professionals at the critical pre-tenure phase of their careers.
