CNPS Educational Grant June 30th, 2010
CNPS has just released a call for proposals for their Educational Grant Program. The announcement is below:
—-
Each year the CNPS Educational Grants program receives funding to help support field research related to California’s native plants. Students, CNPS members, or postdoctoral botanists are eligible, in that order, for grants that are generally not more than $1,000. Proposals should involve taxa or plant communities that are of concern due to direct or indirect potential impacts. The grants need to be relevant to our conservation mission. Certain small endowed funds are available specifically for graduate students planning research involving rare plants or evolutionary botany.
If you are interested in obtaining support from CNPS for your work, request a copy of the guidelines (for drafting and submitting a proposal) from the state CNPS office.
Requests for this or other information can be directed to Chair, Educational Grants Committee, 2707 K Street, Suite 1, Sacramento, CA 95816-5113.
Completed proposals must be received in the CNPS office no later than September 30, 2010.
—Joan Stewart, Chair
CNPS Educational Grants Committee
