The NERRS Graduate Research Fellowship Program is one of the largest graduate programs supported by NOAA. Fellows conduct their research within a National Estuarine Research Reserve and gain hands-on experience by engaging with reserve staff and participating in their host reserve’s research, education, stewardship and training programs.
Fellows use reserves as living laboratories to address NERRS natural and social science priority issues based on the reserves’ local coastal management needs.
