<p class="MsoNormal">Dear UC Community,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We'd like to remind you that <b>February 15th</b> is the <a href="https://ucnrs.org/research/field-science-fellowship/field-science-fellowship-application-information/" target="_blank">
application</a> deadline for the 2023 <a href="https://ucnrs.org/research/field-science-fellowship/" target="_blank">
Field Science Fellowship</a> program, an undergraduate research program sponsored by the University of California Natural Reserve System (NRS).
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The NRS Field Science Fellowship provides financial support to UC undergraduate-faculty teams conducting scientific research in the field at
<a href="https://ucnrs.org/find-a-reserve/" target="_blank">NRS reserves</a>. The fellowships enable students to focus on gaining valuable hands-on research experience under the guidance of a faculty researcher. Each $6,000 award consists of a $5,000 student stipend and $1,000
to cover project costs. A maximum of $24,000 will be awarded annually.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Projects enabling the student to perform full-time research over the summer are preferred. However, we will also consider proposals that explain why the research must be conducted during another season, and how the student will be able
to accomplish the research while enrolled in classes during the academic year. <u></u>
<u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Funding for the Field Science Fellowships are made possible through the
<a href="https://ucnrs.org/samuelsen-conservation-scholars-initiative/" target="_blank">Samuelsen Conservation Scholars Initiative</a>.<u></u><u></u></p>

Latinx, Native American, Pacific Islander, and first-generation college students.<u></u><u></u></p>
