SEEDS Undergraduate Research Fellowship
The Ecological Society of America’s (ESA) SEEDS program offers Undergraduate Research Fellowships for students underrepresented in the field of ecology. Undergraduate Research Fellowships serve the SEEDS mission by providing independent research opportunities for underrepresented students to advance their experience in ecology and their pursuit of a career in ecology.
The SEEDS Fellowship allows undergraduate students to complete an independent research project. This project includes working with program staff to select a research site and mentor, writing a research proposal and budget, conducting research in the field and/or lab, analyzing results and writing a paper, and presenting research at an ESA Annual Meeting. Each Fellow has a research mentor, a PhD ecologist from the ESA membership, to provide support throughout the project. The SEEDS Fellowship is essentially a mini thesis that prepares students for graduate school research. The SEEDS program also provides support through stipends, designated staff, networking with other Fellows, workshops, etc.
