  1. Graduate Research Fellowship Available
    Prince William Sound Oil Spill Recovery Institute

The Prince William Sound Oil Spill Recovery Institute (OSRI) seeks
proposals for a graduate research fellowship in 2012. The program offers
qualified masters and doctoral students the opportunity to address
scientific questions of significance to high latitude cold climate
regions.

The OSRI fellowship is awarded annually and available to students
admitted to or enrolled in a full-time masters or doctoral program at
accredited colleges and universities. The award may be funded for up to
two years for masters or three years for doctoral level research.
Students may reapply for additional funding and those proposals will be
evaluated as new proposals.

The OSRI funds are provided to support research projects that will
enhance scientific understanding of the marine ecosystem, provide
information needed by managers and decision-makers for oil spill
response and recovery, and promote socioeconomic awareness and
understanding of marine and estuarine ecosystems.

The fellowship award may be used for tuition and research related
expenses. The amount of the fellowship is $25,000 with a match
requirement of at least 25% of the total project cost provided by the
applicant. Funding will begin on 1 July 2012.

Application deadline: Friday, 24 February 2012.
