Field Building Accelerator - Information Session

​Some of the most important science doesn’t have a field yet. There’s no journal, no conference, no funding line, just a handful of people who can see what’s missing and are starting to pull others together.

We call them Field Builders, and we want to back them. The Field Building Accelerator will support [50+] US-based Field Builders across five areas: Oceans, Toxicity, Neglected Climate Opportunities, Conservation Technology, and Future Science.

Join us for a live info session to learn how it works and whether it’s right for you.

What we’ll cover:

What we mean by “field building.”

Why new fields need builders, and what that work looks like in practice: convening people, creating shared resources, and making room for others to contribute.

Who we’re looking for.

The five focus areas, eligibility, and the kinds of people and projects we hope to see. You don’t need a big institution behind you.

What Field Builders receive.

​How to apply and how review works.

​The application, who reviews it, and the timeline.

We’ll save plenty of time for open Q&A.
