Applications to participate in the 3rd year of BIO-RETS: Urban Ecology Research and Environmental Justice are now open!

Tuesday, November 11, 2025 6:17 PM | Madison Staton (Administrator)

Are you a high school biology teacher (or science teacher that teaches environmental science concepts)? Are you looking for an energizing professional learning experience this summer? Would you like to learn more about urban ecological research while working with an actual biologist as an apprentice in a professional working environment? Are you curious about ways to infuse your curriculum with immediately relevant environmental justice issues?

 

The University of Louisville is accepting applications for a paid fellowship (roughly $9,000) funded by the National Science Foundation that begins in June 2026. 

 

Additional information about the project can be found via the project website (https://education.louisville.edu/research/bio-rets-urban-ecology-research-and-environmental-justice).

The project application can be found at:Register with Education and Training Application (ETAP) (Personal information, demographic information, etc.) and submit your application at: https://etap.nsf.gov/award/6304/opportunity/11386

 

Further questions can be directed to Dr. Justin McFadden (justin.mcfadden@louisville.edu).
