Gulf Ecosystem Initiative’s Third Call for Proposals is Open!

The Gulf Ecosystem Initiative’s third Call for Proposals for synthesis science projects in the Gulf of Mexico and applications for post-doctoral researchers is now open. Proposals are due March 14, 2025. 

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.

The Gulf Ecosystem Initiative’s Call 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.

NCEAS will host an informational webinar on these opportunities on Dec. 4, 2024 at 1 pm ET (12 pm CT). Register here.
