Announcing the University of California
The UC White Mountain Research Station (WMRS) graduate student research awards provide up to $2,000 per year to support living and travel expenses to do thesis research based out of WMRS (i.e. in the White-Inyo Range, nearby eastern Sierra Nevada mountains and Owens Valley. Living expenses may include room and board at WMRS and limited support for living in the field. Travel expenses may not include airfare. Normally, these awards are renewable at least once. However, owing to WMRS' current transitional status, we cannot guarantee that proposals funded in 2011 will receive funding in 2012. For this reason, in 2011 only, we will accept tightly reasoned proposals to finish current work or gather preliminary data for future projects.
WMRS Fellowships are highly competitive awards for outstanding researchers regardless of state or country of origin and are intended to support outstanding science. Applicants may be part of a faculty member’s research project or team, but the project should be independent from that of the senior research worker. University faculty members are intended to direct the research of the student, but it is expected that students will submit for publication a single- or senior-author manuscript from their WMRS-supported research with WMRS in the by-line. University of California Graduate Students may also apply for Matthias Fellowship awards to support their work at WMRS. Awardees are expected to be in residence for some part of their research at the Station so they can interact with other researchers and students. Awardees are also strongly encouraged to participate in a public outreach activity to share their research at the annual WMRS open house or seminar. Application forms are available on the WMRS web site: minigrant application form 2011.doc Due Tuesday, March 1, 2011 For more information, please see the web site or contact the WMRS office at |
