The Institute at Brown for Environment and Society (IBES) offers Research, Training & Travel Awards as discretionary funding for its affiliated graduate students and eligible postdoctoral scholars. The awards are intended to enhance applicants’ scholarly research or teaching activities. IBES describes its graduate affiliates as an interdisciplinary community conducting climate and environmental research across the physical sciences, life sciences, social sciences, public health, and humanities.
There are no limits on the types of activities the awards can support. IBES gives preference to requests likely to catalyze a significant advance in work that is not otherwise funded and for which other funding is unavailable.
