Any woman of color who is interested in pursuing a career in shark research is welcome to apply.

We welcome undergraduate or graduate students as well as those in between undergrad and graduate school. You must have valid medical insurance in the US. It is not required to be a US citizen. When do applications open? Applications open December 1 and close Jan 2. How many people will be there? There is space for 9 women aboard RV Garvin for each workshop. In additional the Field School crew, the MISS co-founders, and surprise guests may join as well! *Note: workshop capacity may lower as a result of COVID-19 restrictions |
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. |
