[Justin Wilkins]

Hi everyone!

Sorry for cross-posting, but my email didn't go through the last time. 
Research funding opportunity listed below:

Larry D. Agenbroad Legacy Fund for Research
Grant Information – 2017

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.

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.

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.

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.

Grant proposals must not be more than two (2) pages (12 point font, 
English language) and must include the following information:
•    Name of proposal principal investigator or lead co-PI.
•    Email address of principal investigator or lead co-PI.
•    Postal address to receive grant award if selected.
•    Proposed project title.
•    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.
•    Project timeline.
•    Amount of funds being requested from the Larry D. Agenbroad Legacy 
Fund.
•    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.

Grant proposals are to be mailed to:
•    Dr. Jim I. Mead, Chief Scientist, The Mammoth Site: at 
jmead at mammothsite.org. In the email heading indicate Legacy Proposal.
•    Must arrive at The Mammoth Site prior to May 1st, 2017.
