Education Research Track: Early-Career Research Fellowship
For the 2025-2027 Application Cycle, the Education Research track goal focuses on contributing to the advancement of science, STEM and environmental education in the Gulf region or Alaska by considering the impacts of establishing sense of place* in formal or informal learning environments.
*Sense of place describes the wide range of connections between people and places that develops based on the place meanings and attachment a person has for a particular setting. For the purpose of this opportunity, sense of place may include research terminology such as place-based education (PBE) or learning, identity of place, placemaking, and/or pedagogy of place.

Description
The Early Career Research Fellowship’s Education Research track aligns with one of Gulf Research Program’s five program areas, and narrows the focus of the fellowship to support the most relevant research to the goals and objectives of the Board on Gulf Education and Engagement.
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.
