BIRDS OF THE CAROLINAS STUDENT RESEARCH GRANTS


The Carolina Bird Club, Ornithological Society of the Carolinas, announces
the availability of funds to support student research in avian biology. It
is anticipated that up to four awards will be made to institutions in North
and South Carolina to support undergraduate or graduate student research
projects. The average award will be $350.

Applications should be made through the institution with the sponsorship of
a faculty member and approval of the institution's authorized signatory.
Applications should be prepared by the student applicant and should include
a scope of work (limited to two single-spaced pages), a budget with a
budget justification, biographical sketch of the student indicating course
work and other activities that would indicate that the student is capable
of performing the described project, and a letter from the faculty sponsor.
Allowable costs include but are not necessarily limited to laboratory
supplies and limited travel to research sites. The Carolina Bird Club does
not support institutional indirect costs.

A final report will be required. Significant research findings will be
reviewed for possible publication in The Chat.

Application receipt deadline is Friday, October 6, 2000. Grant project
periods will begin November 15, 2000 and fin~ reports will be due by May 1,
2001.

Original and three copies should be sent to:
