The ByWater Institute and A Studio in the Woods seek to enhance and support the scholarship, creativity and cross-disciplinary activity of Tulane faculty and trainees using the lens of any field or discipline to examine environmental challenges, issues, or questions. One-week residencies will be awarded during the Academic Year F2024-S2025, providing a retreat for faculty and trainees across disciplines to work on a discrete project or scholarly pursuit that can be new or complementary to ongoing work. Applications can be made independently, though collaborative and/or cross-discipline team applications are also eligible. This opportunity may be considered similar to an artist residency, writing fellowship or grant-in-aid. Past honorees have used the retreat to analyze data, write an article, prepare for a conference or begin a new project.

A full description, including all important dates and applications, can be found here. Proposals are due March 13, 2024, and residencies will be awarded by May 8, 2024.
