<b>Description:</b><br>
The Gulf Research Program's Science Policy Fellowship program helps scientists hone their skills by putting them to practice for the benefit of Gulf Coast communities and ecosystems. Fellows gain first-hand experience as they spend one year on the staff of
federal, state, local, or non-governmental agencies in the Gulf region.<br>
<br>
With the guidance of a mentor, fellows delve into activities like policy development, evaluation, restoration planning, grants management, and stakeholder outreach and learn what it takes to make scientific information not just useful but usable. Meanwhile,
host offices get a talented technical expert with a fresh perspective and a new network of contacts across the Gulf region.<br>
<br>
Fellows who have completed an MA, MS, or MPH/MSPH degree or who are currently enrolled in a doctoral program will receive an annual stipend of $63,800. Fellows who have completed a PhD, ScD, EngD, MD, DrPH, or DVM will receive an annual stipend of $69,300.
The GRP has increased the stipend amounts to account for cost of living increases.<br>
<br>
Applicants must be currently enrolled in a doctoral program or hold an eligible degree. Applicants currently enrolled in a doctoral program must take a leave of absence for the duration of the fellowship.<br>
<br>
Areas of research- social and behavioral sciences, health sciences and medicine, engineering and physical sciences, earth and life sciences, and interdisciplinary scientific fields relevant to one or more initiatives of the Gulf Research Program.</div>
