We are actively recruiting Faculty from minority-serving institutions and community colleges, as well as Field Station and Marine Lab (FSML) educators to become participants for the first year of our Virtual Field Research Coordination Network!
Faculty participants in this RCN will implement the Virtual Field products (Ecosystem Exploration videos, 360-degree videos, and Live from the Field events) in their undergraduate classrooms. FSML participants will learn how to create content for TVF! Faculty participants will receive a $1,000 stipend to attend 5 virtual workshops, access to training videos to watch at your own pace, and a $600 travel allowance to attend the final 2-day workshop at UC-Davis’ Bodega Marine Laboratory. FSML participants will have access to all of the above and will receive a $500 stipend, $600 travel allowance and will be lent a 360-degree camera and equipment to use during their time in the RCN.
For more information about the RCN activities and timeline, please see this project overview. If you are interested in participating in our first year of the RCN grant, please fill out this form by November 17th.
Thank you again and we hope you can be a part of our Virtual Field community.
