RECIPES x Black in Engineering (BIE) Fellowship

About

RECIPES is sponsoring collaborative research opportunities for Black engineering faculty to engage with members of the team.

RECIPES is a research network bringing together over 40 researchers and 14 institutions connected with organizations working across the food system to advance the science needed to make our wasteful food system sustainable, equitable, and resilient. The first five years of our work is supported through NSF grant 2115405.

Participant stipends and access to RECIPES resources will expand Scholars’ research communities while offering RECIPES members exposure to new research, experiences, and perspectives. Ideal candidates will conduct research in areas complementary to RECIPES goals and identify explicit ways that Scholars can advance their research agendas, professional development in their disciplines, and leadership at their home institutions.

Examples of collaborative projects and activities include, but are not limited to, grant submissions, peer-reviewed publications, policy creation, and course development.

Compensation & Expectations

Up to five accepted Scholars will be offered support of $5,000 plus travel costs to participate in a full-day workshop where Scholars share their expertise, present their plans, and engage in meaningful exchanges within the network.

Additional time commitments on the part of the selected scholars will depend upon the nature of their planned activities and may vary widely. Upon acceptance as a Scholar, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) detailing the relationship and expectations will be created for the duration of the partnership. An action plan will be created such that goals are clarified.
