[Leps-l] Now accepting applications: The Xerces Society's 2023 DeWind Awards for Lepidoptera Research

[Candace Fallon]

The Xerces Society is now accepting applications for two awards for
research into Lepidoptera conservation
Joan Mosenthal DeWind was a pioneering member of the Xerces Society. A
psychiatric social worker by profession, she was also an avid butterfly
gardener and an accomplished amateur lepidopterist. Her contributions of
time, organizational expertise, and financial support were essential to the
early growth and success of the Xerces Society, and helped found a robust
organization that has continued to expand in the decades since and become a
conservation leader. In Joan's memory, Bill DeWind established this student
research endowment fund. At least two awards are given out each year. Award
amounts are determined annually, but are a minimum of $3,750 each.

*Submission Requirements: *The DeWind Awards are given to students who are
engaged in studies and research leading to a university degree related to
Lepidoptera conservation and who intend to continue to work in this field.
All proposals must be written by the student researcher. Proposed research
should have a clear connection to Lepidoptera conservation and must be
completed within one year from receiving funds. Applicants may be graduate
or undergraduate students; however, please note that all but one awardee,
to date, have been pursuing graduate research. Applications from countries
outside the United States will be considered but must be written in English
and international applicant work cannot involve work in the United States.

*Submission Deadline: *The submission deadline is Sunday, January 8, 2023,
at 11:59 PM PST. Award winners will be announced by March 31, 2023, with
initial awards payments sent out by June 2023.
