The program will provide up to $20,000 for student teams to conduct two-year projects that will lead to more resilient habitats and communities on the North Carolina 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, who will assist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis fellowship opportunity builds off the previous great work of graduate students who have focused on the impacts of sea level rise in North Carolina,\u201d says Sarah Spiegler, North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s coastal resilience specialist. \u201cIt\u2019s vital that we continue research that addresses how to become more resilient to the impacts of climate change, and I look forward to a student-led team taking on this challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Each team will conduct research that addresses one or more of these focus areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the impacts of higher groundwater levels on forest, agriculture, and community infrastructure;<\/li>\n<li>how changing precipitation patterns impact salinity levels in estuarine systems;<\/li>\n<li>the impact of higher temperatures on submerged aquatic vegetation communities in North Carolina;<\/li>\n<li>how coastal communities can engage underserved populations to better prepare them for future disasters;<\/li>\n<li>how aquaculture practices can buffer the industry against disasters;<\/li>\n<li>the economic impact of climate change on N.C. coastal communities, including the effects on different sectors and populations; and<\/li>\n<li>additional research topics that address how coastal North Carolina can become more resilient to the impacts of climate change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Proposals should explain how the proposed teams&#8217; research and related outreach will benefit underserved and underrepresented communities.<\/p>\n<p>The winning team will present their findings to North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s advisory board. Sea Grant\u2019s science communicators also will work with the winners to publicize the team\u2019s research through an array of products and media, as appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>The deadline to apply is <strong>5 p.m. on October 29, 2021<\/strong>.
