About

Rookery Bay Estuarine Research Reserve is a platform for visiting scientists and student training to have the opportunity to study our unique ecosystem. Within our research department, we have grant proposal development, technical assistance, as well as collaborative engagement.

Opportunities

The Margaret A. Davidson Graduate Fellowship is a two-year opportunity for a graduate student to address a key coastal management question through research that will help scientists and communities understand coastal challenges.

The NERR Science Collaborative, managed by the University of Michigan, offers resources, webinars, and tools for collaborative programs with NERRs. Check here for new funding announcements.
