OVERVIEW
About the Fellowship:
The Hydro Research Foundation is pleased to solicit applications for the Hydro Research Foundation Fellowship Program. The Program is funded by a grant from the Department of Energy. These Fellowships are designed to allow outstanding early-career researchers to facilitate research related to hydropower. Research undertaken by the Foundation and its Fellows seeks to advance knowledge about hydroelectric technology, including efficiency improvements and environmental mitigation. Through this program the Foundation is promoting educational opportunities and information development related to hydropower. Innovation, creativity and forward-thinking research are encouraged.
The Foundation envisions that the selected researchers will eventually assume leadership roles in the hydroelectric field. Fellows are selected based on research vision, innovation, academic performance, potential for leadership and overall strength of their research proposal.
Hydro Research Foundation Fellows will be awarded two years of support for applied research in the field of hydropower. Fellowship applicants must have completed a bachelors degree by the date of the Fellowship award and be a full time Masters or Doctoral Student. Each Fellow will be monitored by an academic sponsor who will encourage the continual development of the Fellow.
