The mission of the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB) is to build a clear understanding of the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands, and Chukchi/Beaufort Seas that enables effective management and sustainable use of marine resources. NPRB will award a minimum of six Graduate Student Research Awards (GSRAs) of $26,000 each to qualified applicants at US-based institutions whose research addresses scientific, technological, and socio-economic themes relating to this mission. Award funds may be used for stipend, tuition, university fees, research-related travel, supplies, or analyses.
Awardees are expected to use GSRA funds for travel to the Alaska Marine Science Symposium. Eligibility: Students must be accepted by a graduate degree program at an accredited university or college in the United States by the time of application. Conditional acceptance is not allowable. Recipients of previous GSRAs may apply in subsequent degrees, with a maximum of one award per degree.
