Each program will provide grants to support two graduate students enrolled in relevant PhD degree programs in any university in the United States. Fellows would work on thesis problems of public interest and relevance and have summer internships under the guidance of a NMFS mentor at participating NMFS Science Centers, Laboratories, or Regional Offices.
