Funding source: Community Forestry and Environmental Research Partnerships
Southwest Communities and Natural Resource Fellowships |
Description: The Community Forestry and Environmental Research Partnerships Program provides fellowships to graduate students with diverse academic backgrounds – from the social to environmental sciences. Fellows typically study the political, cultural, economic and environmental forces that bear on the relationships between communities and the environment.
The Southwest Communities and Natural Resource Fellowships support graduate students doing participatory research with Native American and other southwestern communities. Participatory research is a cooperative approach to research. It engages community members and researchers in a joint process in which both contribute equally and where community members are more than just key informants who provide information in interviews or by other means. They are equal partners in the research: they help formulate research questions, and help design and conduct the research. Community members contribute their expertise about the local situation in pursuit of mutual knowledge, and researchers provide tools and methods for joint analysis of conditions. This may lead to community members making informed decisions to improve their lives.
The program accepts proposals for research on sustainable natural resource management, social and economic justice in environmental management, community ability to maintain traditional lifeways and land uses in the face of outside and/or competing interests, integrating scientific and traditional knowledge in environmental restoration, and other topics relevant to natural resource issues in Native American communities.
