SESYNC FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES: THEMATIC PURSUITS
The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) is a new
national research center supported by the National Science Foundation
through a grant to the University of Maryland. SESYNC funds the
world's leading social scientists, natural scientists, and humanities
scholars to travel to the Annapolis facility and work intensively in
small trans-disciplinary groups to advance fundamental research on
socio-environmental problems. Computational science is also supported
by the center.
SESYNC invites applications to support synthesis research projects
("Pursuits") under the following new
<http://www.sesync.org/programs/research-themes>Themes:
Theme 4: Globalization and Socio-Environmental Systems
SESYNC seeks proposals focused on the relationship between
globalization and socio-environmental diversity. The goal of this
call for proposals is to increase fundamental knowledge related to
the interaction of social and environmental systems as they respond
to globalization. For more information:

Theme 5: Water, People, and Ecosystems
SESYNC seeks proposals that integrate data and develop models (e.g.,
simulation, theoretical etc.) to enhance our understanding of the
relationships between the spatial and temporal variability of water,
ecological systems, and human welfare or behavior. This solicitation
specifically focuses on the intersection of these three components
with implications for policy and practice. For more information:
