Description
The goal of the Davidson Fellowship is to provide research that meets priority management needs of the reserves and their coastal communities, while building the next generation of leaders in estuarine science and coastal management by affording qualified graduate students the opportunity to conduct collaborative science within the National Estuarine Research Reserve System; partake in professional development opportunities; and receive mentoring to support professional growth. The program is also designed to create a strong network among the fellows during their tenure and into the early portion of their careers. Proposed outcomes include:Critical reserve management priorities are addressed through high-quality collaborative research directed towards local coastal and estuarine issues and contributing to regional and national efforts.A diverse cadre of next-generation leaders in estuarine science and coastal management are supported and develop a strong network that continues after the fellowship and into their careers.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recognizes the need to ensure that research in the National Estuarine Research Reserve System addresses critical gaps in knowledge about estuarine systems, ecological processes, socioeconomics, and related areas. The nature of research conducted at the reserves, as well as interactions with reserve staff, partners, and academic institutions with similar goals, can help students fulfill their degree requirements through work benefiting the reserves and the field of coastal resource management. Office for Coastal Management fellowships are committed to being accessible to all interested and eligible candidates, allowing all fellows to be comfortable in their identities and participate fully in their fellowships, and removing barriers to becoming part of the next generation of coastal leaders. NOAA supports cultural and gender diversity and encourages women and individuals from minority groups to submit applications to this program. In addition, the Department of Commerce and NOAA are strongly committed to broadening the participation of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and institutions that work in underserved areas.
