Since 2015, APNEP and the North Carolina Sea Grant have jointly funded a graduate student fellowship to conduct applied research within the North Carolina portion of the APNEP management area. Fellows conduct research that addresses focus areas identified in the NC Sea Grant Strategic Plan and management actions from APNEP's Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan. 

We are now accepting fellowship applications! If you are interested in applying, you can find requirements and materials on the Sea Grant website. Proposals are due November 15, 2024. 

Contact Aman Kohli, N.C. Sea Grant's Research & Program Coordinator, at akkohli@ncsu.edu or Tim Ellis, APNEP's quantitative ecologist, at tim.ellis@apnep.org, for more information.
