<div class="moz-text-html" lang="x-unicode"> Hi everyone!<br>
<br>
Sorry for cross-posting, but my email didn't go through the last
time. Research funding opportunity listed below:<br>
<br>
Larry D. Agenbroad Legacy Fund for Research<br>
Grant Information – 2017<br>
<br>
Through the Legacy Fund, The Mammoth Site pays tribute to a man
like no other. Dedication to life-long research and a passion for
the education of young scientists were hallmarks of Dr.
Agenbroad’s 50 years career. Support contributed to this fund
will ensure his legacy will continue long into the future.<br>
<br>
The Legacy Fund provides support for proboscidean and Quaternary
research from a world-wide approach. Funding assists scientists
and students from the USA and abroad, in pursuit of meaningful,
high-quality research. Project proposal may include topics
ranging from arrival of mammoths in North America, proboscidean
paleobiology and phylogeny, or topics otherwise related to
understanding the Quaternary paleontological record.<br>
<br>
Successful applicants will be expected to submit a nontechnical
language summary of their study and results upon completion of
their project. A public presentation and/or blog post for the
website of The Mammoth Site about the research results is
required. The intent of the requirements is to provide Mammoth
Site visitors and members with scientific information from the
leading edge of Quaternary research, and to promote public science
education at The Mammoth Site – a non-profit research
organization.<br>
<br>
Grant applications will be accepted from all scientists or
students conducting Quaternary research that meet the above
guidelines. Proposals are accepted during April 1-30, 2017.
Grants will be awarded in early May, 2017. Grant awards will be
in amounts of $1,000 or less.<br>
<br>
Grant proposals must not be more than two (2) pages (12 point
font, English language) and must include the following
information:<br>
• Name of proposal principal investigator or lead co-PI.<br>
• Email address of principal investigator or lead co-PI.<br>
• Postal address to receive grant award if selected.<br>
• Proposed project title.<br>
• Project description. Your proposal will be considered by
leading paleontologists so scientific jargon is accepted where
appropriate. You must include: where the project is located, is
there need for permission to conduct the project, and if so, do
you have this permission at the time of proposal submission, what
your project is, why it is important, and why do you need funds.<br>
• Project timeline.<br>
• Amount of funds being requested from the Larry D. Agenbroad
Legacy Fund. <br>
• Budget Explanation – A full project budget explanation is
required. If your project requires more funding than available
from the Legacy Fund, please explain how the requested funds will
be complemented, and where additional funds are to come from.<br>
<br>
Grant proposals are to be mailed to:<br>
• Dr. Jim I. Mead, Chief Scientist, The Mammoth Site: at <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:jmead@mammothsite.org">jmead@mammothsite.org</a>.
