addressing issues on the management, care, conservation, or use of natural
history collections.

Applicants for this Grant must be SPNHC members in good standing for at

right of refusal. Each applicant may submit only one proposal per funding
period. The cover sheet should include a project title, name(s) of project
personnel (including title, address, phone number and email), and a single
line spaced 100-word abstract describing the proposed project. The proposal
text should include a statement of purpose, project plan (e.g.,
participants, methods, materials, schedule of completion), and proposed use
of funds. The application document should be formatted to have one-inch
margins, a font with 10-12 characters per inch, and double line spacing.
The application, including cover page, should not exceed 10 pages.
Curriculum vitae of the principal investigator and letters of commitment
may be single spaced and attached as an appendix.
