The NSF Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability (SEES) Fellows Program aims to enhance research and education related to environmental sustainability and societal well-being. This initiative encourages interdisciplinary investigations that intersect traditional fields to tackle sustainability issues using a systems approach. Applicants must propose research that expands their expertise beyond their primary discipline and foster partnerships that enhance the project's impact. Additionally, fellows need to outline a plan for their professional growth in sustainability science and engineering. While the program is open to various topics, primary focus on Engineering Directorate themes is not accepted, although they may be included as secondary or tertiary aspects.
