<b><span style="font-size:16.0pt; color:#333F48">Smithsonian Fellowships Focus on Climate Change and Environmental Justice</span></b></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;background:white"><span style="color:#333F48">Our planet faces unprecedented and interrelated crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and a global pandemic. Nationally, the United States is also confronting
our complicated history and legacy of race and racism. As the largest museum, education, and research complex -- with 23 museums, numerous research centers, and the National Zoological Park -- the Smithsonian’s vast collections, exhibits, current and historical
data sets, and in-house expertise provide a unique opportunity to inform interdisciplinary approaches and solutions to many of these challenges.</span></p>

<span style="color:#333F48">Through a new initiative, Our Shared Future: Life on a Sustainable Planet, the Smithsonian aims to advance solutions that fill us with optimism for our planet and all species that call our planet home. As part of this initiative,
the Smithsonian is launching two new fellowship programs: <a href="https://fellowships.si.edu/CCF" data-auth="NotApplicable">Smithsonian Climate Change Fellowship</a> and <a href="https://fellowships.si.edu/EJF" data-auth="NotApplicable">Smithsonian Environmental
Justice Fellowship</a>. Each program will support a cohort of 2-5 fellows for a period of two years. Fellows will receive a stipend to conduct independent research that utilizes Smithsonian resources (e.g., data, facilities, expertise). Fellows with research
projects that have the potential to produce rapid results and impact are especially encouraged to apply.</span></p>
