New Leadership Award Winners
We have selected additional awardees for the USCarbonProgram-NACP Leadership Awards. Congratulations to all the US Carbon Leadership Award Winners!
In 2021, we established this Leadership Award to support of the North American carbon cycle community’s engagement, communication and collaboration opportunities. This award activity is aimed at advancing our broader diversity, equity, inclusivity, accessibility and justice goals which are essential for fulfilling our national and global science priorities.
In response to our Phase 1 (November 2021) and Phase 2 (May 2022) announcements, we have received over 70 applications so far. The following applicants were selected and notified of their selection for this award based on their application materials and completion of all the requirements outlined in the announcements. The awardees’ blurbs will be published and shared via the NACP Newsletter soon.
(Please note: We are still accepting and evaluating applications on a rolling basis. The list of awardees below will be updated accordingly. For details on how to apply, see here and be sure to follow all the application instructions and deadlines carefully in order for us to consider your application.
