Narrative Questions

1. Why are you applying to join the cohort-based AgBioFEWS program?*

What would you bring to the program, and how would it augment what you expect to gain from within your selected PhD program? (200-500 words)

2. Teamwork experience*

From your specific experiences, what have been the challenges and benefits for you of working as part of a student or professional team? Why do you want to be on a team as a part of your PhD program? (200-500 words)

3. Discuss a peer-reviewed paper or a media article that describes what you consider an exemplary interdisciplinary effort to address or solve a problem. What makes this exemplary?*

Provide appropriate citation(s). (400-500 words)

Interview*

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic we are uncertain if we will be conducting in-person interviews at our annual recruitment event in March 2022. If your application is selected for the final round of reviews, we will be contacting you for either an online or an in-person interview with our Selection Committee in March (Date TBD).

I understand that it is a requirement to attend the in-person and/or online interviews in March 2022 as part of the interview process and to be considered for the fellowship. I will ensure that I am available to participate in March (Date TBD).

2022 Fellowship start date*

Due to the COVID pandemic, we are recruiting a year in advance for the 2-year AgBioFEWS fellowship program scheduled to begin August 2022. 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.

I understand that I am applying to the AgBioFEWS fellowship program, which starts in August 2022 and ends August 2024.

Field Studies*

Ideally, in the first year of the program students will spend 2 weeks in late summer prior to the start of their first Fall classes living and working in a farm community in eastern North Carolina. Given the COVID pandemic, this experience will most likely be held in August of 2022. Will will take precautions so that we don’t put any of our students or faculty at risk. If you have any concerns or questions about the field studies, please list those in the additional comments box at the end of this application.

I understand that if health safety can be assured in August 2022, the field experience will be a requirement of the AgBioFEWS fellowship.
