Application Form
IMPORTANT: Due to the COVID pandemic, we are recruiting AgBioFEWS Fellows a year in advance for the 2-year AgBioFEWS fellowship program scheduled to begin August 2022. The deadline is February 1, 2021 to apply for the first round of consideration.
Funding will be committed by the AgBioFEWS program for the 2021/2022 and the 2022/2023 academic years, but the main program activities will begin in August 2022. Each student’s PhD program will provide funding in subsequent years.
Please contact Dawn Rodriguez-Ward with any questions at dtward2@ncsu.edu.

- We are interested in accepting students from diverse disciplinary backgrounds and perspectives. Students will work together to examine current and potential biotechnology products and their development pathways to assess if and how they can be used to improve food, energy, and water (FEW) systems for societal benefits. We are interested in elevating the level of public discussions on topics surrounding the use and implementation of biotechnology, not simply to be for or against biotechnology.
