Each year, North Carolina Sea Grant helps build a cadre of educated, innovative and technologically advanced professionals through a variety of fellowships for graduate students.<\/p>\n
Recently, eight students began critical research on topics affecting the state\u2019s coast and communities. The tally includes a new joint fellowship inaugurated this year with North Carolina Space Grant.<\/p>\n
\u201cInitiating funding opportunities for students \u2014 and new collaborations \u2014 is a highlight for our program,\u201d says John Fear, Sea Grant deputy director. \u201cThese projects exemplify the diversity of topics available to students through Sea Grant partnerships, helping each organization to expand into new areas of research. I look forward to the results.\u201d<\/p>\n
