[image: Knauss Outreach Webinars - Facebook.png] The Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship <https://seagrant.noaa.gov/knauss-fellowship-program/> provides a unique educational and professional experience to graduate students who have an interest in ocean, coastal and Great Lakes resources and in the national policy decisions affecting those resources. The Fellowship, named after one of Sea Grant’s founders and former NOAA Administrator John A. Knauss, matches highly qualified graduate students with “hosts” in the legislative and executive branch of government located in the Washington, D.C. area, for a one-year paid fellowship. Graduate students involved in marine mammal research are excellent candidates for this program. Previous years have hosted fellows with experience in passive acoustics, physiology, stranding, and other marine mammal studies who bring their unique skills to marine conservation policy issues. Join current Sea Grant Knauss Fellows in marine policy to learn about the 2025 Knauss application <https://seagrant.noaa.gov/prospective/> timeline and process, hear from current Fellows about their experiences, and ask any questions you may have about the fellowship. Topics covered will include the executive and legislative tracks, award information, eligibility, and the 2025 application package. Sessions are on November 7 (4-5 pm ET), November 29 (4-5 pm ET), December 21 (5-6 pm ET), and January 9 (5-6 pm ET). All sessions will cover the same materials.
