How to Apply to Become a LaDIA Fellow

LaDIA Fellows are selected by Louisiana Sea Grant based on their potential to develop innovative approaches to coastal research and their willingness to engage with coastal communities. Applicants for the program are leaders in their research fields, use interdisciplinary networks and seek out partnerships beyond the ivory tower. Applicants may work in a wide range of fields, including environmental science, engineering, policy, design, architecture, urban planning and law.
