TUNDRA Award
Overview
Toolik Field Station (TFS) is pleased to provide students and early career researchers with userday support to conduct their own independent research projects in Arctic Alaska with the Tundra Award.
Short for Toolik Userdays for Naturally Developing Research Abilities, this competitive award supports the invaluable experiences afforded by conducting hands-on research in the field by offering access to TFS. Often funding for independent field work can be hard to secure for students and early career researchers. The Tundra Award provides awardees with up to 10 TFS user days that cover food, accommodations, support, and logistics while at the station. We encourage applicants from all disciplines to apply.
Important Award Information
Please note that while applicants involved in an ongoing project at TFS will be considered, the Tundra Award is intended to support original, independent research that is not specified in awards funded to other PIs.
Tundra Awardees are required to fund their own travel to Fairbanks, AK. Once in Fairbanks, the TFS team will handle logistics to get awardees up to the field station.
