> On behalf of Virginia Sea Grant, the Northeast Consortium, UMass Dartmouth’s School for Marine Science and Technology (SMAST) and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS), I am thrilled to announce the availability of four (4) Collaborative Fisheries Research Graduate Fellowships for the fall 2010 academic year. This is a national demonstration pilot program in collaborative research between scientists, fishing industry, NGOs, and/or resource managers working on fishing gear technology/conservation engineering that seeks to:
>
> · Expand the capacity of marine and fisheries science professionals possessing collaborative research skills and experience;
> · Cultivate a vibrant, enduring professional cohort of collaborative research scientists;
> · Enhance the scientific capacity in fishing gear technology/conservation engineering to reduce bycatch and minimize habitat impacts; and
> · Advance professional standards for collaborative research and re-establish a professional culture of collaboration among science, industry and managers.
>
> Highlights:
>
> · Fellows are provided with one academic year of support (tuition, stipend), plus $15,000 of research support.
>
> · e-Networking tools will be used to link fellows and faculty from multiple institutions through a distance-learning course, “Theory and Practice of Collaborative Fisheries Research” and to facilitate peer mentoring and coaching support throughout the Fellowship.
>
> · Fellows will participate in a practicum in conservation engineering/fishing gear design to apply collaborative fisheries research principles. The program facilitates and enables effective collaborative research projects among science, industry, and resource management communities.
>
> · Any student, regardless of citizenship, who is enrolled in a graduate or professional program in an accredited institution of higher education in the U.S., is eligible.
>
> · Awards begin Fall semester 2010
