Gulf Ecosystem Initiative 2025 Informational Webinar

Date/Time: Wednesday, December 4, 2024, 01:00 PM EST

Whether it is your first time proposing synthesis science or your tenth, you probably have questions about our new Gulf Ecosystem Initiative call for proposals – and we are here to answer them! In this informational webinar we review what NCEAS does, how working groups work, and tips for strong applications.

The Gulf Ecosystem Initiative is a $3.5 million partnership between the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) and the NOAA RESTORE Science Program to fund synthesis science and postdoctoral research.

The objectives of the Gulf Ecosystem Initiative are to use synthesis to improve the integrated understanding and management of the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem and to build capacity for conducting synthesis on the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem, including workforce development and promoting use of open source data. By funding a multi-year synthesis initiative, the Science Program intends to advance its long-term outcomes of understanding and managing the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem as an integrative whole.

The Gulf Ecosystem Initiative’s Request for Proposals asks project teams to propose pressing scientific and societal challenges focused around three themes in the Gulf of Mexico: climate change, fisheries, and the ecological impact of management actions.

In a separate process, NCEAS is searching for two post-doctoral scholars to collaborate with the synthesis working groups and to conduct independent research in the applicant’s area of interest. NCEAS will be posting that job announcement soon on this site where you can also learn more about working at NCEAS.
