Affiliation in IBES is open to all fully-enrolled Brown University graduate students (Masters & PhD) whose research significantly relates (or will relate) to environmental research in the physical sciences, life sciences, social sciences, public health, and/or humanities. Applicants should also be seeking an interdisciplinary environment to develop their ideas, professional skills and networks.

Applications are accepted twice per year, in the fall and spring.

These awards are intended to support research, training and travel expenses for IBES-affiliated PhD students conducting environmental research, and provide up to $5,000 to defer research and professional development costs.
