Dear UC Community,



We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for the
2022 Field Science Fellowships
<https://ucnrs.org/research/field-science-fellowship/>, an undergraduate
research program sponsored by the University of California Natural Reserve
System (NRS).



The NRS Field Science Fellowship provides financial support to UC
undergraduate-faculty teams conducting scientific research in the field at NRS
reserves <https://ucnrs.org/find-a-reserve/>. The fellowships enable
students to focus on gaining valuable hands-on research experience under
the guidance of a faculty researcher. Each $6,000 award consists of a
$5,000 student stipend and $1,000 to cover project costs. A maximum of
$24,000 will be awarded annually.



Projects enabling the student to perform full-time research over the summer
are preferred. However, we will also consider proposals that explain why
the research must be conducted during another season, and how the student
will be able to accomplish the research while enrolled in classes during
the academic year.



Funding for the Field Science Fellowships are made possible through
the Samuelsen
Conservation Scholars Initiative
<https://ucnrs.org/samuelsen-conservation-scholars-initiative/>.



*Access and inclusion*

All applications are welcomed and will be considered. *We especially invite
applications from students from ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds
historically underrepresented in the sciences*, including but not limited
to African-American, Latinx, Native American, Pacific Islander, and
first-generation college students.



*Application information*

*Eligibility requirements, evaluation criteria, and complete application
information can be found **here*
<https://ucnrs.org/research/field-science-fellowship/field-science-fellowship-application-information/>.
The application deadline for Summer 2022 is January 20, 2022.



Please distribute this email widely and share this exciting program with
students and faculty who may be interested. I’ve attached a program flyer
for you to print and post. Additional flyers can be found here
<https://ucnrs.org/research/field-science-fellowship/>. If you have any
questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.



Thank you so much,

Kelly
