The Office of Sponsored Research is pleased to invite 捆绑SM社区 researchers and administrators to听an information session on National Geographic funding opportunities.听 Both emerging and established researchers are encouraged to attend.
National Geographic has recently revised their granting program and funds fieldwork in the following areas:听听human migration听(i.e., the causes and effects of human population movement),听human adaptation听(i.e., how societies adjust to and mitigate environmental changes), and听human diversity听(i.e., the cultural, linguistic, and genetic diversity of our species),听biodiversity in human-altered environments听(including human-wildlife conflict and mitigation, urban ecology, zoonotic diseases), the听effects of climate change on biodiversity听(including science- and policy-oriented solutions), the听exploitation of natural resources听(including bushmeat, legal but unsustainable harvesting, wildlife crime),听landscape connectivity and habitat corridors听(including animal migrations), and the听science of restoration听(i.e., ecosystem restoration at all scales), geology, geochemistry, physical geography, marine ecology, oceanography, paleontology, and observational astronomy. We are particularly interested in the themes of听ocean research and conservation听(including reef processes, marine ecology and management, and sea-level change),听disasters associated with natural hazards听(including volcanoes, earthquakes, and landslides),听environmental change听(including records of past climates, glacial retreat, pollution, and remediation), and听the history of our planet听(including plate tectonics, paleobotany, mass-extinction events, and planetary analog science).
National Geographic has also released Requests for Proposals in the following fields:听; ; ; that will also be addressed at the workshop.
