The Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) is pleased to announce a
new competition to hold expert workshops on "Emerging Frontiers in
Tropical Science." The program is designed to identify emerging
issues in tropical science and draw together scientists across a
range of disciplines, institutions, and geographies to holistically
address these issues. Scientists are asked to prepare a brief
proposal of the scientific theme and invitees. Individuals submitting
the winning proposal(s) will identify the theme and participants for
a 3-5 day workshop at one of OTS' biological stations in Costa Rica.
All workshop, travel, and participant costs will be covered by OTS.
Who Should Apply
Researchers of all nationalities working on tropical issues may apply
for the grant. Post-docs are encouraged to submit as co-PIs. It is
highly preferable for the lead investigator to be affiliated with an
OTS
