Scholarships, Fellowships, and Internships at Ocean Leadership:
Frank M. Cushing Science Policy Fellowship
A fellowship for marine science postdoctoral scholars and doctoral candidates interested in bridging the gap between science and policy by spending a year in Washington DC researching, developing and advocating for research and sound ocean policy.
Frank Cushing was widely appreciated for his mentorship of young policy makers and his willingness to spend time sharing his expertise, experience and influence with the science community. This fellowship is designed to expose young ocean scientists to navigating the inside-the-beltway political landscape that Frank negotiated so successfully and for them to learn about the major contributions that he made to science. .
Schlanger Ocean Drilling Fellowship
Funded by USSSP, the Schlanger Ocean Drilling Fellowship Program offers merit-based awards ($30,000 for one year) for outstanding graduate students to conduct research related to the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program. Research may be directed toward the objectives of specific expeditions or may address broader themes.
National Ocean Scholar Program
The National Ocean Scholar Program provides tuition assistance for NOSB students who have an interest in pursuing an ocean or a marine science in their post-high school education. The application process is only open to past NOSB participants.
Grants and Funding Opportunities at Ocean Leadership:
IODP Planning Workshops
USSSP sponsors planning workshops to develop new ideas to study the Earth via scientific ocean drilling, to engage new communities in the program, and to synthesize results of past expeditions. Proposal review occurs biannually after the submission deadlines of October 1 and April 1.
IODP Pre-Drilling Activities
USSSP sponsors pre-drilling activities to provide funds in quick response to an opportunity to acquire data or information that will enhance a drilling expedition. Proposals are accepted year round, with priority given to projects that support expeditions already on the IODP schedule. More Information
