Fellowship Guidelines

The Pew Fellows program began in 1990 as the Pew Scholars Program in Conservation and the Environment, to fund primarily academics to address a broad range of biodiversity issues. In 1994 the program was expanded beyond academia and recipients became known as Pew Fellows. In 1996 the program focus was narrowed to marine conservation exclusively.

The PFP now awards mid-career fellowships that support individuals/teams to engage in policy-focused research, applied science, and outreach for marine conservation and challenges arising from land-sea connections. Programmatic elements that enhance leadership capacity and support outreach, conservation education, advocacy, and networking are emphasized.

Five mid-career fellowships of $150,000 each are awarded to individuals or teams (2 people per team) annually. Pew Fellowships provide flexible support for individual leadership and initiative encouraging creative, interdisciplinary approaches to the preservation of marine ecosystems.

Fellowships are awarded to individuals primarily in the middle stages of their careers and are granted based on the applied conservation merit of the proposal, the potential impact of the project, and the individual's professional achievement.
