Thank you for your interest in helping applicants

Prospective applicants greatly value the experience and advice of Fellows, since you have proven sucess in writing strong essays, obtained compelling reference letters, and otherwise successfully navigating the GRFP application process. Your willingness to help applicants will be invaluable to the applicants you reach.

How can I help?

Current and past fellows who are interested in helping GRFP applicants are encouraged to sign up as contacts on our Experienced Resource Person list. Each experience will be different, so there is no specific requirement or expectation, but the overall purpose of the Experienced Resource Person list is intended to allow applicants to connect with successful Awardees to help improve their competitiveness.

Fellow Kerrie O’Donnell from Project Seahorse at the University of British Columbia’s Fisheries Centre prepares to conduct a night time, underwater measurement of the tiger tail seahorse (/Hippocampus comes/) in the Danajon Bank region of the Central Philippines. Collecting size and reproductive state data on wild seahorses allows us to better understand how fishing impacts seahorse populations; information desperately needed to develop practical recovery options for sustainable seahorse fisheries.
