The Gulf Research Program of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is now accepting applications for two fellowship opportunities:
Our Early-Career Research Fellowship supports emerging scientific leaders as they take risks on untested research and pursue unique, interdisciplinary collaborations. Fellows receive two years of relatively unrestricted funding that helps them navigate this period with independence, flexibility, and a built-in support network. Applications are due by February 20, 2019.

Under the guidance of a mentor, fellows learn what it takes to make scientific information not just useful, but usable. Applications are due by March 6, 2019.
