Dear Colleagues,
The University of Washington's Center for Disaster Resilient Communities is offering a hands-on training program in environmental and public health disaster research methods and skills for up to 25 advanced graduate students and early career hazards and disaster researchers from across the United States.
This fellowship includes a weeklong in-person intensive at the University of Washington Seattle Campus from August 5-9, 2024 followed by a yearlong applied research experience during which scholars will develop their own research projects.
Please visit our program web page for information on eligibility, application instructions, and timelines. Applications will be accepted until March 29th, 2024 (9PM PDT) and will be reviewed with acceptances sent out in mid-April to early-May. Need-based travel stipends are available and funding is available to support eligible William Averette Anderson Fund Fellows.
Candidates of any identity and background are welcome to apply. We strongly encourage submissions from those with diverse lived experiences, such as BIPOC scholars, LGBTQIA+ scholars, scholars from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, first-generation scholars, and scholars from communities that experience disproportionate disaster risk.
Please share this information and flier to anyone who would be interested!
Please email jrandazz@uw.edu with any questions.
