[NHCOLL-L:522] SPNHC Awards

[Tim White]

CALL FOR 2000 AWARD NOMINATIONS

	The Awards and Recognition Committee is accepting nominations for the
SPNHC Award and the President's Award for the year 2000.  These awards are
given only when an appropriate candidate is identified, and neither award
may have more than one recipient per year.  Final decisions are based on
documentary information and approval from the SPNHC Council.  The Committee
is also accepting nominations for Special Services Awards.
	The SPNHC Award recognizes an individual's life-time achievements that
have served as a significant contribution to the objectives of the Society.
 Nominees for the SPNHC Award may be members, previous members or
non-members of the Society.
	The President's Award is given in recognition of a SPNHC member's
distinguished service to the development and continued success of SPNHC.
This would normally involve superior, prolonged service to appointed
offices, committees, and/or ongoing activities of SPNHC.  Nominees must be
current or previous members of SPNHC.
	Special Service Awards recognize individuals for any special effort
leading to the success of an important event or activity of the Society.
The award is essentially a certificate of appreciation. The nomination
process for this award is less formal, and names of nominees may be
submitted in writing or verbally at any time before the second meeting of
Council at the 2000 Annual Meeting.
 	Nominations should include the name of the nominee, name of the award
proposed, a description of important contributions of the nominee, and
other information supporting consideration of the nominee for the award in
question. Nominations and related questions should be directed to Steven
Krauth, Chair of the Awards and Recognition Committee, Department of
Entomology, University of Wisconsin, 346 Russell Laboratories, 1630 Linden
Drive, Madison, WI 53706-1598.  Phone (608) 262-0056; Fax (608) 262-3322;
email krauth at entomology.wisc.edu. Deadline for submission is May 31, 2000.

CALL FOR THE 2000 FABER AWARD PROPOSALS

	The Awards and Recognition Committee is requesting proposals for the Faber
Award, a cash grant of up to $1000, to support the best project addressing
issues on the management, care, conservation, or use of natural history
collections.  Applicants for the Faber Award must be SPNHC members in good
standing for at least one year prior to the award date.
	The successful applicant will be expected to 1) present a final or interim
report at the 2001 Annual Meeting of the Society and 2) publish the
results, with the understanding that the manuscript will be sent first to
the SPNHC Publications Committee for first 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, and phone/fax numbers), 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, etc.), and proposed use of
funds. The text should have one-inch margins, 10-12 characters per inch,
and double-line spacing.  The application, including cover page, should not
exceed 10 pages. Curriculum vita of the principal investigator and letters
of commitment may be single-line spaced and attached as an appendix.
