Ecohydrology - Tiny Grants

     

The Ecohydrology Tiny Grants program

The Ecohydrology Technical Committee with the support of the Hydrology Section of the American Geophysical Union offers a yearly “Tiny Grant” program to support early-career scientists attending the AGU Fall Meeting every December. The necessity to financially support early-career scientists attending the Fall Meeting was one of the main takeaways from the 2019 Ecohydrology early-career subcommittee 2019 survey on how the Ecohydrology Technical Committee could improve the Fall Meeting experience of early-career scientists.

The $1500 award budget will be equally split between 4 to 10 recipients (depending on the number and the quality of the applications every year) to help provide financial support with costs associated with attending the meeting. Applicants must be graduate students or early-career scientists (less than 10 years since PhD graduation) working in the field of ecohydrology to apply. 

Applications should address

  1. the value of attending the meeting
  2. financial need
  3. alignment of research with ecohydrology
  4. plans for networking during the meeting.
