Forrest Shreve Student Research Fund
The Forrest Shreve Award supports research in the hot deserts of North America: Sonoran, Mojave, Chihuahuan, and Vizcaino. Projects should be clearly ecological and should increase our understanding of the patterns and processes of deserts and/or desert organisms.
Graduate and undergraduate students are eligible, if they are currently enrolled in a degree program and are members of the ESA. Proposals will be ranked based on the importance of the project to understanding desert ecology, feasibility, experimental design, and innovation and on the quality of the application and letters of support.
Applicants for the award should send a proposal (not to exceed one page) describing the proposed research, specifying the research location and explaining how the award would further the proposed research, with a C.V. and a short-proposed budget describing how the money will be spent if awarded. A letter of reference should be submitted separately by a research supervisor or an appropriate referee familiar with their work. Graduate and undergraduate students are eligible, as long as they are currently enrolled in a degree program and are members of the ESA.
