Hands-On Research in the Field
At SFS, you’re conducting research in the field – in incredible ecosystems and dynamic communities around the world. Whether you’re surveying the glaciers of Patagonia or laying underwater transects in the Caribbean, you’ll experience all the excitement and challenges of field data collection.
Learning Practical Skills
The work you do during your time abroad will prepare you for a future career in STEM fields, grad school, and beyond. From species identification and wildlife monitoring techniques to GIS and stakeholder interviews, the skills you learn at SFS are practical, transferable, and invaluable.
[/column]
[column lg="4" md="4" sm="12" xs="12"]The Project
Experienced Research Mentors
Field research is complex and challenging – but with the mentorship of our experienced faculty members, you’ll have the tools and support you need to be successful. Each student works directly with a faculty member throughout the entirety of the research process from project design to final written report.
Your Piece of the Puzzle
Each SFS Center has an ongoing strategic research focus which allows our work to expand beyond the scope of one-off projects. Your project is a critical piece of this larger puzzle – you’ll design your research question within this framework, giving more context and value to your results.

[column lg="4" md="4" sm="12" xs="12"]
The Impact
Building a Body of Knowledge
Building a comprehensive body of scientific knowledge is a key step toward a more sustainable future. You’re joining scientists around the world working to understand our environment and how it is changing, and in some of the regions where we operate, you’ll even collect baseline data – the first of its kind.
Giving Back to the Community
SFS research is influenced by our communities. Our neighbors share their stories, observations, and needs, and in return we provide valuable data to community leaders, local environmental groups, and government agencies, allowing them to make informed and sustainable policy decisions.

[column lg="6" md="6" sm="12" xs="12"]Directed Research:
noun
/ də-ˈrek-təd ˈrē-ˌsərch /
1. A student research project conducted under the direction of a faculty mentor as part of a larger research plan.
[/column]
[column lg="6" md="6" sm="12" xs="12"]
Directed Research (SFS 4910) is a 4-credit course that gives you an introduction to conducting scientific research – developing a question, collecting and analyzing data, writing a paper, and presenting your findings. The course is offered on all semester programs, and lasts approximately the last 4-6 weeks of the semester. Recent projects have covered themes such as climate change resilience, elephant ecology, agroforestry, traditional ecological knowledge, food security, coral health, sustainable ecotourism, and water quality.
[/column]
[/row]
Directed Research Topics: All student research on SFS programs is part of the long-term strategic research plan at each Center. Students develop their research questions under an umbrella of topics connected to this plan. This approach allows students to address relevant, real-world environmental issues and contribute to a larger body of scientific knowledge.
Research Ethics: The research our faculty and students conduct complies with the research ethics rules and guidelines in the country in which they are working, and when applicable, permissions are obtained for research on human subjects, animal subjects, and for the extraction of biological samples. Additional vetting for human subjects research is made by the SFS Office of Academic Affairs to ensure standards of ethical practice and protection of subjects are met.

Hands-On Research in the Field
At SFS, you’re conducting research in the field – in incredible ecosystems and dynamic communities around the world. Whether you’re surveying the glaciers of Patagonia or laying underwater transects in the Caribbean, you’ll experience all the excitement and challenges of field data collection.
Learning Practical Skills
The work you do during your time abroad will prepare you for a future career in STEM fields, grad school, and beyond. From species identification and wildlife monitoring techniques to GIS and stakeholder interviews, the skills you learn at SFS are practical, transferable, and invaluable.
[/column]
[column lg="4" md="4" sm="12" xs="12"]The Project
Experienced Research Mentors
Field research is complex and challenging – but with the mentorship of our experienced faculty members, you’ll have the tools and support you need to be successful. Each student works directly with a faculty member throughout the entirety of the research process from project design to final written report.
Your Piece of the Puzzle
Each SFS Center has an ongoing strategic research focus which allows our work to expand beyond the scope of one-off projects. Your project is a critical piece of this larger puzzle – you’ll design your research question within this framework, giving more context and value to your results.
[/column]
[column lg="4" md="4" sm="12" xs="12"]
The Impact
Building a Body of Knowledge
Building a comprehensive body of scientific knowledge is a key step toward a more sustainable future. You’re joining scientists around the world working to understand our environment and how it is changing, and in some of the regions where we operate, you’ll even collect baseline data – the first of its kind.
Giving Back to the Community
SFS research is influenced by our communities. Our neighbors share their stories, observations, and needs, and in return we provide valuable data to community leaders, local environmental groups, and government agencies, allowing them to make informed and sustainable policy decisions.

[column lg="6" md="6" sm="12" xs="12"]Directed Research:
noun
/ də-ˈrek-təd ˈrē-ˌsərch /
1. A student research project conducted under the direction of a faculty mentor as part of a larger research plan.
[/column]
[column lg="6" md="6" sm="12" xs="12"]
Directed Research (SFS 4910) is a 4-credit course that gives you an introduction to conducting scientific research – developing a question, collecting and analyzing data, writing a paper, and presenting your findings. The course is offered on all semester programs, and lasts approximately the last 4-6 weeks of the semester. Recent projects have covered themes such as climate change resilience, elephant ecology, agroforestry, traditional ecological knowledge, food security, coral health, sustainable ecotourism, and water quality.
[/column]
[/row]
Directed Research Topics: All student research on SFS programs is part of the long-term strategic research plan at each Center. Students develop their research questions under an umbrella of topics connected to this plan. This approach allows students to address relevant, real-world environmental issues and contribute to a larger body of scientific knowledge.
Research Ethics: The research our faculty and students conduct complies with the research ethics rules and guidelines in the country in which they are working, and when applicable, permissions are obtained for research on human subjects, animal subjects, and for the extraction of biological samples. Additional vetting for human subjects research is made by the SFS Office of Academic Affairs to ensure standards of ethical practice and protection of subjects are met.
