SESYNC Invites Proposals for Collaborative, Interdisciplinary Research

The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) requests 
proposals for collaborative and interdisciplinary team-based research projects 
under two programs: Pursuits and Workshops.

SESYNC is a synthesis research center that brings together diverse groups in 
new, interdisciplinary collaborations to identify solutions to society's most 
challenging and complex environmental problems. Proposals are invited for 
synthesis projects focused on tools, methods, and other practices applicable to 
actionable team research on socio-environmental problems.

We encourage those interested in these opportunities to discuss their ideas 
with SESYNC prior to developing their proposal. Discussions with team leaders 
can often help determine if an idea is appropriate for SESYNC, as well as how 
syntheses might be structured to achieve strong 
interdisciplinary/transdisciplinary outcomes. Please contact 
resea...@sesync.org with any questions.

Pursuits
Teams interested in applying for a Pursuit should address a pressing 
socio-environmental problem. Researchers are encouraged to develop research 
questions and methods that can be applicable across multiple places and scales, 
and have the potential to inform decision makers. Projects that can bring 
together quantitative and qualitative data and knowledge are of special 
interest. Pursuit teams should be comprised of no more than 15 members who will 
meet at our Center in Annapolis for 2-4 meetings of approximately 3-5 days over 
a period of 1-2 years.
Click here for complete 
details. 
Proposals must be uploaded to SESYNC's online submission system by May 15, 
2017, at 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

Workshops
Teams interested in applying for a Workshop, a single meeting of up to ~25 
participants, may focus on a broad topic or a set of related topics relevant to 
socio-environmental synthesis. Workshops may summarize and/or synthesize the 
state of the topic and/or identify future directions that have the potential to 
lead to a larger synthesis effort.

Click here for complete details. Proposals 
must be uploaded to SESYNC's online submission system by May 15, 2017, at 5 
p.m. EDT.

Other Opportunities
SESYNC also invites proposals for its Sabbatical, Policy & Practice, and 
Maryland Fellowships, in addition to its Short-Term Visitor and Short Course 
programs. Application instructions for each program can be found on our 
website.

Please share with potentially-interested colleagues!
Thank you,

Emily
