What if I don't know if I will finish my PhD before the January deadline?
You may submit your application in this round if you think that there is a chance that you will have your degree by December. If it turns out that you did not finish your PhD at the time that fellowships are awarded, you cannot be awarded a fellowship in this round of applications. We encourage you to apply again for future Fellowships once you have been awarded your PhD.
How do I find a WWF mentor?
It is not required that you identify a WWF mentor before completing the on-line application. WWF mentors will be paired with fellowship finalists in the final stages of the selection process. Please visit other parts of the website for more information about the Fuller Fellowship review process. If you are interested in reading more about the research areas of the WWF Conservation Science Program, please visit the Conservation Science section.
Can Fuller Fellows be of any citizenship?
The Kathryn Fuller Science for Nature Fellowship is open to individuals of all nationalities, unless prohibited by U.S. law.
Can I get feedback on my research proposal idea before I submit my application?
Unfortunately we do not have the resources to provide feedback on all of the research proposals that are coming in, so we are refraining from in depth discussion on any research proposals.
Are there any restrictions on the type of organization where fellows are based?
Proposed research can be conducted at any institution that is willing to accept the terms of the fellowship and provide a letter stating that they are amenable to the terms of the Kathryn Fuller Science for Nature Fellowship.
What if I don't have an institution where I would like to be based?
Applicants may propose to work at WWF-US headquarters or any other research institution, but a specific location where the fellow will be located must be proposed.
Can applicants be from any discipline?
Yes, the research proposal must address the question “How do different biofuel throughputs compare against credible performance levels?”, but applicants may come from a variety of disciplines in the natural and social sciences.
