In an effort to promote cross-site studies and graduate student research within the LTER Program, Harvard Forest (HPR) is offering up to three graduate student fellowships annually for research conducted at the sites. Although collaboration with scientists at the sponsoring sites is desirable, investigations of processes or phenomena not currently studied at the sites is strongly encouraged.
Fellowships for a maximum of $3,000 will be made on a one-time basis and can be applied toward travel, stipend, housing, and research costs. Applicants are required to provide project descriptions and a project schedule along with an expected products list, itemized budgets, and a letter of support from their thesis advisor. Students receiving fellowships will be required to provide the host sites with a copy of all data and publications, including the original thesis or dissertation, and acknowledgment of support in all publications resulting from the work. Applications are due February 1 of each year.
