Student Collaborative Exchange Program
To further facilitate collaboration in the research community, INTERFACE plans to sponsor a limited number of collaborative exchanges for US-based graduate students, in which students who primarily work with models spend a brief period (up to one month) working in an experimental setting, or students who primarily work on global change experiments spend a brief period (up to one month) working in an ecosystem or Earth system modeling setting. These exchanges should ideally allow the student to continue working on a similar topic, but from a different perspective. Interested graduate students should identify a laboratory in which they would like to work, and should secure approvals from their advisor and the exchange labs PI. To apply, students should submit as a single PDF file: (1) a one-page proposal explicitly stating the questions being addressed and why the collaboration will facilitate answering them, (2) a one page NSF-style CV, (3) a half-page budget justification, (4) an email from the collaborating lab (sent to Aimee: [email protected]) stating they are willing to host your visit. Applications should be sent in a single PdF to Aimée Classen <[email protected]> by April 29 for full consideration, but applications will subsequently be accepted on a rolling basis. Allowable expenses include airfare and housing. These funds cannot be used to cover classes or student/ PI salary. US based studnets can travel within the US or internationally. Exchanges may be partially or fully funded by INTERFACE.
