Please distribute to your friends and colleagues attending the 2016 Ecological Society of America Annual Meeting in Ft Lauderdale, FL.
Research/Funding Networking Opportunity with Federal Agencies at the 2016 ESA Annual Meeting Dear ESA 2016 attendees, On behalf of numerous Federal program managers and the ESA Early Career Section, we would like to invite you to attend an information and networking session to be held at ESA's Annual Meeting in Ft. Lauderdale. This session will bring together early career scientists with federal program managers to share information, funding opportunities and other tips to help enable the next generation of ecologists and environmental scientists. The session will be held on Monday, August 8th from 11:30-1:15 at the Hilton Marina next to the ESA convention center in Ft. Lauderdale. Each federal program will provide a short introduction describing the scope of their programs (similar to a lightning talk) followed by a roundtable discussion where attendees can discuss specific research and funding opportunities directly with program managers/officers. The session is free to attend and registration is not required. You are encouraged learn more about the ESA Early Career Section by checking out their Blog/ webpage (http://esa.org/earlycareer/news/) as well as on twitter (@ESA_EarlyCareer) or email (earlycar...@esa.org<mailto:earlycar...@esa.org>). The session info is: WK 24: "Federal Agency Networking Session" Monday, August 8, 2016 11:30 AM - 1:15 PM Grand Blrm A, Hilton Marina http://eco.confex.com/eco/2016/webprogram/Session11777.html Description of the session: Navigating federal agencies for research and funding opportunities in ecology can be complex, especially for early career investigators. Representatives from multiple federal agencies and organizations involved with ecological research along with ESA's Early Career Ecologists Section will share information about research funding, opportunities, and/or fellowships at their institutions. At this session, we will strive for representation from BLM, DOD, DOE, EPA, NASA, NOAA, NSF, USDA, USFS, USGS, and the Smithsonian Institution. After a brief introduction about each organization present, representatives will meet with workshop participants in small groups to answer questions about their programs. Thanks!
