- Description
- The CASC culture is to advance diversity, inclusion, and empowerment for traditionally underrepresented communities. The Diverse Knowledge Systems in Climate Adaptation Fellowship supports graduate students as they use their diverse experiences, viewpoints, value systems, and cultural knowledge to strengthen their climate adaptation efforts. During the fellowship year and beyond, Fellows benefit from collaborations with university and USGS mentors, from interactions with other colleagues and partners of USGS, and from exposure to high priority, real-world challenges in the natural resources policy arena.
- Qualifications
- This opportunity is open to graduate students at Climate Adaptation Science Center Consortium Institutions (see map) and minority-serving institutions such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal College and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions. Applicants will first submit a Statements of Interest to express interest in the fellowship and to help the review panel pair applicants with potential CASC mentors. The Statement of Interest includes a one-page cover letter, one-page pre-proposal, and a CV. Should an applicant be selected to advance to the Full Proposal stage, the CASCs will match the applicant to a potential mentor based on the proposed project and appropriate CASC expertise. The applicant is then invited to work with their mentor to submit a Full Proposal, consisting of a revised one-page cover letter, a revised CV, a full project proposal, and letters of recommendation from each of the applicant's mentors.
