Matriculated graduate students at any of Tufts University
schools are eligible to apply for designation as TIE Fellows
and to conduct interdisciplinary environmental projects.
This is an opportunity to recognize and provide greater
visibility for stellar interdisciplinary students and their
work. Selected students will be listed on the TIE website,
invited to present “work in progress” and final
reports to the Tufts environmental community, and receive
a stipend for research (up to $6000 per graduate fellowship).
They will become part of the growing group of TIE Scholars:
students, research associates, and visiting faculty members
selected for their ongoing and potential contributions to
environmental research and education.

Environmental
Planning Grant Proposals - currently not offered
Teams of faculty members and students from any of the Tufts
departments or schools are eligible to apply for Planning
Grants to develop environmental research or project proposals.
Teams may include more than one faculty member and more than
one student, and preference will be given to teams with members
from more than one School. It is expected that all members
on the proposal will participate in the research and final
submitted proposal.
TIE’s objectives in soliciting Planning Grant proposals
are to stimulate the production of proposals for external
funding of environmental work, to help fund graduate students
in environmental fields, to encourage faculty members and
graduate students to work together on proposal development,
and to encourage interdisciplinary and cross-School collaboration.
The sole requirement for successful completion of this Planning
Grant is that the team submits a proposal for external funding
of environmental research or a project, with a copy sent to
TIE. The student who worked on the proposal with the faculty
member(s) will not necessarily be part of the funded project,
although each team is expected to deal with this in a fair
manner.
