[Melanie Colón]

The Gulf Research Program of the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine is accepting applications for its 2016 Early-
Career Research Fellowships and Science Policy Fellowships at
www.nas.edu/gulf/fellowships.

The two-year Early-Career Research Fellowships recognize tenure track
faculty (or equivalent) for exceptional leadership, past performance, and
potential for future contributions to improving oil system safety, human
health and well-being, or environmental protection. Fellows’ areas of
research may include the social and behavioral sciences, health and
medicine, engineering, earth and life sciences, and relevant
interdisciplinary fields.

The one-year Science Policy Fellowships place doctoral students and
professionals who have received their graduate degrees in the past five
years with a state environmental, natural resources, oil and gas, or public
health agency, or in the regional office of a relevant federal agency in the
Gulf of Mexico region. Fellows’ areas of study may include the social and
behavioral sciences, health and medicine, engineering, earth and life
sciences, and relevant interdisciplinary fields.

To learn more about eligibility and how to apply, or to access the online

for both fellowships are due on February 17, 2016 at 11:59pm ET.
