Since 2003, DISCCRS has hosted symposia for early-career researchers to 
catalyze formation of interdisciplinary collegial networks, while 
fostering skills to better prepare graduates to conduct collaborative 
research and respond to the myriad challenges posed by climate change 
and its impacts. Participants will share their research; engage in 
discussions with peers, mentors, and funding agency representatives; and 
participate in communication and team training. Thirty early-career 
scholars will be selected through a review process with the expectation 
that invitees will become leaders in their chosen fields. Airfare and 
on-site expenses are supported through grants from NSF and NASA.
