North Carolina Sea Grant (NC Sea Grant) is accepting applications for the second Coastal Resilience Team Competition. This program provides an opportunity for teams of North Carolina-based graduate and undergraduate students to conduct projects that will lead to more resilient habitats and communities within the NC Coastal Plain.
Each team will include two to four members, including at least one graduate student who will serve as the project lead, and at least one undergraduate. North Carolina Sea Grant strongly encourages proposals from teams that include students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and at Minority Serving Institutions, and/or students from traditionally underserved and underrepresented communities.
Deadline: Nov. 4, 2022
Each team will conduct research that addresses resilience in one or more of these areas:
Ecosystem Resilience
Community Resilience
Economic Resilience
Additional research topics that relate to these three focus areas will be considered.
Project teams should be based around at a minimum a two-member team made up of a Graduate Student lead, and an Undergraduate participant. This opportunity is only open to US citizens. Teams may contain additional students, up to a maximum of 4 students. The additional team members may be either graduate or undergraduate students. Only graduate students in good academic standing, attending an accredited North Carolina university or college are eligible to apply. Team members do not have to be located at the same institution. The role of each team member must be clearly outlined as part of the application (see below). NC Sea Grant expects team leads will be later-career graduate students to ensure they have the experience needed to oversee the project team and ensure the project is completed .
