IBCI Fellowship Program
The program provides fellowships to outstanding experts and professionals working across diverse disciplines in blue carbon who demonstrate a commitment to research and/or application of natural and social sciences and are committed to the protection, conservation, and restoration of blue carbon ecosystems. In 2024, the IBCI Fellowship Program will select one fellow for a two-year program. In future years, the number of fellows selected annually may increase.
Each fellow will receive a grant of USD 60,000 to support either new programs and projects or existing research endeavors. Supported activities may include supplementing current research projects, travel for laboratory studies, purchase of equipment, and other additional research costs (e.g., publication fees, field assistants).
The call for applications for the Blue Carbon Fellowship Program is now closed. Learn how you can apply for the next cycle here.
