The Gulf Research Program’s Early-Career Research Fellowship supports 20 emerging scientific leaders over two years at their institution as they take risks on untested research ideas, pursue unique collaborations, and build a network of colleagues who share their interest in improving offshore energy system safety and the well-being of coastal communities and ecosystems. Because the early years of a researcher’s career are a critical time, the relatively unrestricted funds and mentoring this fellowship provides help recipients navigate this period with independence, flexibility, and a built-in support network.
