Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center Research Fellowship
The Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center (NW CASC) 2023-2024 Research Fellowship Program is currently accepting applications from graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. The program supports research related to climate adaptation for Northwest natural and cultural resource management and provides training in the principles and practices of developing decision-relevant science.
The program allows for self-submission by the students and postdoctoral scholars, but the proposals are awarded to Boise State as a sponsored project. To assure accurate proposals, students and postdoctoral scholars are required to obtain institutional approval to submit prior to uploading a proposal. Any graduate students or postdoctoral scholars who want to apply must work with the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) to submit following the timeline below. OSP encourages faculty advisors to share this opportunity with students and postdoctoral scholars.

Summer Authentic Research Experience
Idaho’s Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) is seeking student applicants for exciting summer student research experiences as part of an Idaho-wide National Science Foundation (NSF) funded program focused on Linking Genome to Phenome to Predict Adaptive Responses of Organisms to Changing Landscapes. Research projects can be led by faculty from any Idaho college or university.
The Summer Authentic Research Experiences (SARE) is designed to engage Idaho undergraduates in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields related to GEM3 research and increase the number, diversity and preparation of skilled scientists and engineers in GEM3 fields (bioinformatics, computational biology, conservation genetics, ecosystem management, environmental science, social science, and many other disciplines).
Each student receives hands-on, paid (up to $5,000) summer research experiences (full-time or part-time educational opportunities available), where they study topics broadly related to the GEM3 project. Up to $500 will be provided to the faculty supervisor for research supplies and/or student travel.
Student applications open up February 1st and priority deadline is February 17th, 2023. Faculty applications are also still open!
