In progress
The National Academies are developing a Global Climate and Environmental Research Fellowship for early- to mid-career researchers, led jointly by its fellowship, international, and climate programs. The fellowship will support placements with host institutions abroad, enabling collaborative research and professional development. By fostering international partnerships and applied experience, the program aims to strengthen the networks and skills needed to address complex global challenges.
This initiative is currently in a planning phase, with future expansion dependent on pilot outcomes and additional philanthropic fundraising. For more information, reach out to climatecrossroads@nas.edu.
Description
National Academies staff will plan for the launch of a new Global Climate and Environment Research Fellowship for early- to mid-career scientists. As initially conceived, the Fellowship will match U.S. researchers with host institutions abroad and provide professional development activities to support fellows future career development. Preliminary goals of the fellowship include:
- Support climate and environment researchers, international collaboration, and science-informed decision making.
- Sustain and strengthen the talent pipeline for next generation leaders in science-to-action scholarship and practice.
During an initial planning phase, National Academies staff will (1) consider potential challenges and risks associated with the program, (2) develop detailed plans for implementation, risk mitigation, and program evaluation, and (3) begin to establish partnerships with host institutions abroad.
