Graduate Research Fellowship Program

The National Estuarine Research Reserve System’s Graduate Research Fellowship provides master’s degree students and Ph.D. candidates with an opportunity to conduct research of local and national significance that focuses on enhancing coastal zone management. Fellows do their research within a National Estuarine Research Reserve and gain hands-on experience by participating in their host reserve’s research and monitoring programs. Graduate Research Fellowship projects are based on the reserves’ local needs, the reserve system’s national priorities, and the students’ interest. For more information, visit http://nerrs.noaa.gov
