*_Dr. Larry Agenbroad Legacy Fund for Research _*

*_Grant Information_*

Through the Legacy Fund, The Mammoth Site will to pay 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 year 
career. Support contributed to this fund will ensure his legacy will 
continue long into the future.

The Legacy Fund provides support for proboscidean and Quaternary 
research at The Mammoth Site and other locales the world over. Funding 
will assist Mammoth Site staff, as well as other scientists or students 
from the US and abroad, in pursuit of meaningful, high quality research. 
Project proposals may include topics ranging from the arrival of 
mammoths in North America and the Black Hills, proboscidean paleobiology 
and phylogeny, or topics related to understanding the Quaternary 
paleontological record.

Research generated from these funds will be used to develop educational 
curricula for programming and/or exhibits at the Mammoth Site. As such, 
the successful applicant(s) will be expected to submit a nontechnical 
language summary of their study and results upon completion of the 
project. A public presentation and/or blog post for our website, of the 
research results for the Mammoth Site is a requirement. The intent of 
these 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.

Grant applications will be accepted from scientists and/or students 
conducting Quaternary research, and applications for grants are accepted 
between January 1^st and March 31^st .Grants will be awarded in late 
April.Grant awards will be in the amounts of $1,000 or less.

Grant applications should be no more than two pages total (12-point 
font, English preferred) and must include the following information:

·Name of Applicant

·Institution of Applicant

·Contact Information including email

·Project Title

·Project Description (your application will be forwarded to some of the 
top paleontologists in the world, so scientific jargon is fine).Please 
include where the project is located; is there a need for permission to 
conduct the project (local government, museum, etc.)

·Project Timeline

·Amount Requested and Reason – How does the project relate to the 
mission of the Mammoth Site and build on Dr. Agenbroad’s Legacy?
