Thank you for your interest in becoming a Navigating Home Fellow. Navigating Home is a National Science Foundation project that engages the United States territories of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Guam and supports recent on- and off-island graduates who identify as Black, Hispanic, Pacific Islander or other underrepresented groups in the geosciences and who originally hail from one of the three U.S. territories.
The goal of this program is to place recent graduates into new short- (2.5 month) and long-term (1-2 years) marine and environmental science job opportunities to build local workforce capacity. Training provided will be tailored to ensure graduates have the skills required to contribute to an island-based, marine and environmental science workforce.
