The Work

 
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.

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 timeline 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.

Be Part of Something Greater.

When you study abroad with SFS, you're contributing to a legacy of environmental research and stewardship. Communities and ecosystems across the globe are dealing with the impacts of climate change, pollution, deforestation, and many other environmental threats. For more than 35 years, our students and faculty have been working to address these issues through focused research efforts. With ten Centers around the world, our research covers a spectrum of important environmental issues. SFS programs provide the foundation for students to critically examine today’s environmental issues in an international setting and conduct meaningful, hands-on research in the field. You’ll be working alongside members of our faculty who have expertise in many fields including conservation ecology, environmental policy and ethics, and natural resource management, and the data you collect contributes valuable information to the global body of scientific knowledge. Our planet is home to an incredible diversity of life, and its future depends on good science and informed policy. Through your research at SFS, you’re becoming part of a greater movement to protect the planet for generations to come. [fifth_section] =>

The Work

 
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.

Be Part of Something Greater.

When you study abroad with SFS, you're contributing to a legacy of environmental research and stewardship. Communities and ecosystems across the globe are dealing with the impacts of climate change, pollution, deforestation, and many other environmental threats. For more than 35 years, our students and faculty have been working to address these issues through focused research efforts. With ten Centers around the world, our research covers a spectrum of important environmental issues. SFS programs provide the foundation for students to critically examine today’s environmental issues in an international setting and conduct meaningful, hands-on research in the field. You’ll be working alongside members of our faculty who have expertise in many fields including conservation ecology, environmental policy and ethics, and natural resource management, and the data you collect contributes valuable information to the global body of scientific knowledge. Our planet is home to an incredible diversity of life, and its future depends on good science and informed policy. Through your research at SFS, you’re becoming part of a greater movement to protect the planet for generations to come. [fifth_section] =>

Directed Research was the most challenging thing I have ever undertaken, but it is a significant personal accomplishment. I have gained a better understanding of myself, what I want in life, and where I am going. I feel better prepared as a burgeoning biologist seeking to study life and ensure its conservation for generations to come.
