SUMMARY: The National Sea Grant College Program is seeking applications
for two fellowship programs to fulfill its broad educational
responsibilities, to strengthen the collaboration between Sea Grant and
the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and to strengthen ties
between academia and industry:

(1) The NMFS - Sea Grant Joint Graduate Fellowship Program in Population
Dynamics and Marine Resource Economics (Fisheries Fellowship Program),
which is available to US citizens who are graduate students enrolled in
PhD degree programs in academic institutions in the United States and
its territories, with required institutional matching funds, expects to
support six new Fisheries Fellows in Population Dynamics and Marine
Resource Economics in FY 2002. Fisheries Fellows will work on thesis
problems of public interest and relevance to NMFS and have summer
internships at participating NMFS Science Centers or Laboratories under
the guidance of NMFS mentors.

(2) The Sea Grant - Industry Fellowship Program (Industry Fellowship
Program), which is available to graduate students enrolled in either MS
or PhD degree programs in academic  institutions in the United States
and its territories, with required matching funds from private
industrial sponsors, expects to support five new Industry Fellows in FY
2002. Industry Fellows will work on research and development projects on
topics of interest to a particular industry/company. In a true
partnership, the student, the faculty advisor, the Sea Grant College or
institute, and the industry representative will work together, sharing
research facilities and the cost of the activity.
