In support of the University of California’s Global Food Initiative, which commits the UC to develop and promote sustainable and nutritional food systems to meet an ever-increasing global population, the UCR Global Food Committee is soliciting applications for the 2021-22 Global Food Fellowship.

A total of two $3,000 fellowships will be awarded by UCOP. These fellowships are intended to support Global Food Initiative related projects at the UCR campus. Projects addressing each of the themes outlined below will be considered. These projects should contribute to improved health and nutrition and educate the campus community about the importance of sustainable food and agriculture systems.

To qualify for consideration of a fellowship, you must be a full-time undergraduate or graduate student enrolled at the University of California, Riverside. Fellows are expected to participate in campus and system-wide GFI meetings, attend UCR GFI events and achieve all milestones approved in the scope of their projects in a timely manner.

In addition to the two GFI Student Fellows, one GFI Student Ambassador will be selected to lead student engagement and communications efforts on that campus for the Global Food Initiative. Ambassadors will also receive a $3,000 award.

Please note, absent exceptional circumstances, all GFI Student Fellows and Ambassadors are expected to attend the system-wide events.

System-wide activities for the program include:
• Virtual orientation for the incoming cohort in Fall 2021
• Leadership retreat for GFI Student Ambassadors in Fall 2021
• Spring convening or field trip in 2022
• Closing symposium and poster presentation to be held in conjunction with the CA Higher Education Sustainability Conference (CHESC) in July 2022
• Additional mandatory activities including bi-monthly conference calls and participation in GFI-related activities in support of the initiative.
