The Arctic Ocean Sciences Board (AOSB) is pleased to announce the
creation of funding to support participation of early career scientists
in international arctic marine planning meetings. This new initiative,
the New Research Generation (NRG), aims to promote the inclusion of
early career arctic scientists and engineers in the arctic marine
science planning process. It is AOSB's intent that through this project
early career scientists will not only attend meetings, but will become
involved in the planning process over the long-term, finding ways to
contribute to their future as arctic researchers.
Early Career Scientists are defined as individuals under 35 years old or
individuals with less than 5 years experience since receiving their
doctorate.
International planning meetings are those aimed at developing plans for
future research activities. Examples include the Sustaining Arctic
Observing Networks (SAON) workshops and Arctic Science Summit week
(ASSW). International planning meetings are not open science conferences
where papers on past research are presented. International planning
meetings do not have to be specifically dedicated to marine research,
but they should have some marine component.
Individuals meeting requirements may apply for any international
planning meeting occurring between 1 September 2008 and 31 March 2009.
Applicants should submit a half page statement describing their
motivation for attending the planning meeting, how doing so will advance
his/her research goals in arctic marine sciences, and what long-term
activities s/he hopes to engage in to facilitate international
collaboration. A 2-page CV must also be submitted with the application.
