+grantName: "NRT-HDR: CAMBIUM - Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation through
+  Biodiversity Informatics Education and Mentoring"
+grantAmount: $250.00
+grantDesc: "As the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and
+  Ecosystem Services (IPBES) makes clear, Earth is at a biodiversity tipping
+  point, with over one-million species threatened with extinction. A major
+  driver of this extinction is climate change with dire consequences for all
+  life. Animal, plant, human, and environmental systems synergistically
+  influence the health of each system. This concept, known as One Health,
+  suggests that the feedback loops among systems impacted by climate change and
+  biodiversity loss will have myriad consequences for human society. Impacts
+  include loss of livelihoods, food insecurity, changing infectious disease
+  dynamics, and mental/emotional health impacts.  Preventing biodiversity and
+  ecosystem service loss leading to these outcomes is a grand challenge facing
+  humankind. To adapt to and mitigate the consequences of climate change, we
+  propose the CAMBIUM NRT to train a new scientific workforce with the data
+  science skills to integrate disparate data streams and produce actionable
+  results for decision-makers in industry and government. Existing graduate
+  programs do not provide the combination of training in biodiversity data
+  science and policy with an emphasis on transdisciplinary team-science
+  training. CAMBIUM brings together scholars from diverse fields to develop a
+  new graduate curriculum that provides a research and training environment to
+  develop a new generation of scientists to use big data integration to address
+  pressing challenges of biodiversity loss and societal well-being. Over the
+  course of five years, CAMBIUM will award two-year fellowships to 18 fellows
+  with additional 250 students participating in the program (~150 PhD and 100
+  MS). Fellows and non-fellows will be able to apply for research and travel
+  stipends for a total of 192 students funded through CAMBIUM. Keywords:
+  Biodiversity; Data Science; Informatics; Ecology; Ecosystem Services; Species
+  Distributions; Food Security; Public Health; Track 1"
