research grant

K.S.N.H. is pleased again to announce the offering of a funding source to help support natural history/biodiversity knowledge in Kentucky. The grants will be awarded to students attending a Kentucky college or university graduate school during the 2003-2004 school year. Grants up to $1000 will be awarded. These grants may be used to pay for tuition, books, travel and living expenses, consumable supplies, and other materials and expenses. The grants may not be used to pay time or labor for any party. The successful applicant will be notified by the end of July, 2003.

Proposals will be reviewed by the K.S.N.H. Grant Committee.

Proposal must include:

1. A current Curriculum Vitae, detailing course and work background.
2. A proposal (not to exceed two single-spaced typed pages) describing the
proposed research and the role the grant would play in the research.
3. An itemized budget.
4. Two letters of recommendation, one of which must be from the
applicant's major professor or project director (with telephone number
and/or e-mail).
5. Include your other funding sources for this grant.

Applicants are encouraged to become members of K.S.N.H., but membership is not required to be awarded a grant. The grant recipient is expected to provide K.S.N.H. with a short summary of the funded research within one year of receiving the grant. The grant recipient is also expected to present his/her work at either a spring or fall conference of the Kentucky Society of Natural History.
