Tibor T. Polgar Fellowships for Hudson River Research
The Polgar Fellowship Program supports undergraduate and graduate research projects on the Hudson River. The program is jointly sponsored by the Hudson River Foundation and the Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve Program. Proposals are accepted for research anywhere within the Hudson estuary as defined from New York Harbor to the Federal Dam at Troy, New York, and including the four marshes of National Estuarine Research Reserve. Through this program we seek to gather information that contributes to physical, chemical, or biological understanding of the complex natural patterns, processes and relationships that exist in the estuary, and to train students in estuarine studies. Projects on public policy aspects of the Hudson River environment are also eligible. Summer salaries of $3,800 and limited research funds will be provided. Because of the training and educational aspects of the program, students must be sponsored by a major professor. Sponsoring professors will receive a $500 stipend. A total of eight fellowships are awarded.
