This is a new MISS program that encourages and supports mentorship between women of color. Recipients will be awarded $10,000. This program is for women of color who are interested in mentoring another woman of color in their lab or at their institution. Mentors can be at any career stage (Undergraduate to Late-career), but must be mentoring someone in an earlier career stage (High School to Mid-career). To be eligible to apply, mentorship teams must be working on a project related to elasmobranch research or conservation. Both mentors and mentees must be MISS members.

About missMISS provides a community and funding opportunities for women of color who wish to enter the field of shark sciences. We aim to show that there are many women of color succeeding in and interested in this field.
We fundraise and apply for grants to create paid opportunities to attempt to knock do the financial barrier into shark science. We encourage other organizations in our field to do the same. |
