THE RYAN BEAULIEU RESEARCH GRANT

The NMOS now offers two $1000 research grants each year to help support research on New Mexico birds in memory of Ryan Beaulieu. The criteria for the grants are:

the grant money must be spent while conducting research on birds in New Mexico;
the recipient must either present a paper based on the research at an annual NMOS Meeting or submit an article based on the research to the NMOS Bulletin; and
preference will be given to student applicants.

A short research proposal (2 pages maximum) must be submitted describing the nature of the project and how the allocated funds are to be spent (e.g., on gas, tape recording, specific equipment, etc.). Each proposal should include two letters of reference, one of which should be from a graduate advisor if the applicant is a graduate student. References should comment on the applicant’s commitment to New Mexico ornithology and ability to design and carry out creative, independent research. Please submit your electronic proposal, “NMOS Grant” in the subject line, to:

Dr. Roland Shook
Western New Mexico University
Silver City, NM 88061 (shookr@wnmu.edu)

The deadline for Research Grant proposals in 2009 will be announced on this site. All applications will be acknowledged upon receipt. If no acknowledgement is received, it is the applicant’s responsibility to follow up with their submission to ensure consideration.

Grant awards are announced at the NMOS Annual Meeting.
