STEPS Graduate Fellowships Announced
The STEPS Institute has recruiting funds available for the coming 2004-2005 year to attract three stellar prospective graduate students interested in pursuing interdisciplinary environmental research on the major STEPS research priorities. These funds have been made available through a generous anonymous donor for the purpose of advancing work on the STEPS research priorities and attracting the best environmental graduate students to UCSC. Each STEPS graduate fellow will undertake a environmental research program that links one or more aspects of environmental science, technology, engineering, policy, and society.
August 15, 2003: STEPS Seed Grants available for UCSC Faculty
The STEPS Institute now has funds available to help UCSC faculty develop interdisciplinary collaborations in environmental research. The funds are from UCSC, UC Office of the President, donations that established the Institute, and a new anonymous donation. The goal of these funds is to help develop long-term interdisciplinary collaborations among UCSC faculty within the major research themes of the STEPS Institute: rapidly changing genetic diversity within and among ecosystems; changing aquatic resources mediated by environmental and societal changes; and biological, physical, and social effects of regional climate change.
