associated with the CTFS-ForestGEO network of <a href="http://www.ctfs.si.edu/plots/" target="_blank">Forest Dynamics Sites</a>. The program is intended to provide opportunities for senior researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students to use existing Forest
Dynamics Sites and conduct research in collaboration with </span><a href="http://www.ctfs.si.edu/plots/pi/" style="font-size:14px" target="_blank">scientists associated with these sites</a>.<span style="font-size:14px"> Projects can be field-oriented,

programs is eligible to apply. Priority will be given to early-career researchers, researchers with less access to other institutional funds, and to projects that include multiple sites. In rare cases, highly advanced undergraduate students will be considered.
Social scientists and natural scientists are both encouraged to apply. Applicants of all nationalities are encouraged to apply.</span></p>
