[geolstu-list] Fwd: [SciTech-GradStudents] Field Research Grant Opportunity for Undergraduate and Graduate Students

[Mark R. Besonen]

All,

A great opportunity for *both* undergraduates and graduate students can 
be found below.  Undergrads, if you want to boost your resume, a small 
research project would be a great way to do it.  And if it were funded 
by The Explorers Club, wow, even better!  But you have to make the 
effort and apply.  Talk with one of the Geology or ESCI faculty members 
if you are interested, and want to know how to proceed.  Good luck!

Mark

      Announcing The Explorers Club 2014 Youth Activity Fund and
      Exploration Fund Grants
      <http://campaign.pixelwork.com/t/y-l-tivgl-wauykdty-t/>

    	


        Deadline for applications is 5:00 PM EST, December 16, 2014

    The Explorers Club is proud of its history but also looks toward the
    future, recognizing the importance of new ideas and avenues of
    exploration. The Club is deeply committed to supporting the
    fieldwork of serious researchers and, as part of its public service
    commitment, is currently accepting applications for the following
    grants:

    *The Youth Activity Fund Grant*supports high school students and
    college undergraduates. Its goal is to foster a new generation of
    explorers dedicated to the advancement of the scientific knowledge
    of our world.

    Awards range from $500 to $5,000. The average award is approximately
    $1,500. Only a few grants may be awarded at the $5,000 level.

    *The Exploration Fund Grant*is for graduate, post-graduate,
    doctorate and early career post-doctoral students. It provides
    grants in support of exploration and field research for those who
    are just beginning their research careers.

    Awards range from $500 to $5,000. The average award is approximately
    $2,500. Only a few grants may be awarded at the $5,000 level.


    Both The Exploration Fund Grant and The Youth Activity Fund Grant
    will require you to submit a:

    *. *One page description of your project with attention to
    scientific objectives.
    *. *Description of qualifications of your project associates and the
    specific sites of your proposed research.
    *. *One paragraph description of your career objectives and
    aspirations and how this project fits into that plan.
    *. *Letter of recommendation from your supervisor/s
    *. *Copy of a current student ID.
    *. * Budget outline.

    Your proposal should be readily understandable to a reviewer of a
    discipline other than your own. Avoid heavy use of discipline
    specific jargon unless clearly defined.

    Generally The Explorers Club considers research proposals in a wide
    array of disciplines, including:

    *. *Climate Change, Geoscience, Paleoclimate (i.e. Early Earth,
    Tectonics, Volcanism, Paleontology, Glaciology, Geophysics, Astronomy)
    *. *Marine Science, Marine Biology, Marine Life, Fish, Coral, Ocean,
    Fresh Water, Rivers, Lakes, Estuaries
    *. *Anthropology/Archeology
    *. *Plants and Molds
    *. *Animals
    *. * Conservation Science

    *Deadline for applications is 5:00 PM EST, December 16, 2013.*
