The University of Idaho received a $175,000 Project Grant award from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Higher Education National Needs Graduate Fellowship Grants program. The award will fund a graduate fellowship program from June 2021 through June 2026 to train two doctoral students in forest soil science and management. Key deliverables include coursework, research aligned with USDA Forest Service objectives, leadership and sustainability training through participation in Forest Service programs, teaching training, and communication skills development. The program aims to recruit fellows from underrepresented groups, including at least one female student, and produce two graduates with expertise in current and future forest soil health strategies and the ability to perform research, teach, pursue careers both inside and outside of academia, and effectively communicate across disciplines.
