Call for Proposals to The Edward B. and Phyllis E. Reed Endowment
The Department of Invertebrate Zoology at the National Museum of Natural History is pleased to request proposals for grants to pursue research on freshwater copepods of North America. Funding for the grants is made available from The Edward B. and Phyllis E. Reed Endowment at the Smithsonian Institution.
Grants are for one year duration and are limited to no more than $6,000. Funds are disbursed in US dollars. US citizens and foreign nationals are eligible. Proposals should include: (1) a statement of intended research of no more than 3 double-spaced pages; (2) a budget
page; (3) CV?s of all participants. Proposals from undergraduate and graduate students also must include a letter of support from the primary faculty advisor explaining the student?s funding needs, and describing the student's academic and research accomplishments.
Proposals may address any aspect of the biology of freshwater copepods of North America, although specimen-based research on taxonomy, poorly
surveyed habitats, zoogeography, invasive species, or phylogeny are topics of particular interest. Proposals should include, as applicable, an indication of the taxa expected to be studied, and the number of specimens to be examined. Awards for work at the Smithsonian Institution will be made as a travel grant plus stipend; awards for all other research will be made as a reimbursable contract. Funds cannot be used to attend meetings.
Principal investigators will deliver a final report on the results of the research within eighteen months after funds are disbursed. Reprints (paper or electronic) of publications resulting from the research should be made
available to the Charles Branch Wilson Copepod Library, Dept. of Invertebrate Zoology [MRC ? 534], Smithsonian Institution, 4210 Silver Hill Rd., Suitland, MD, 20746, USA, and to the Monoculus Library, Deutsches Zentrum fuer Marine Biodiversitaetsforschung, Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg, Suedstrand 44, D-26382 Wilhelmshaven, GERMANY.

Ferrari, Dept. of Invertebrate Zoology [MRC ? 534], Smithsonian Institution, 4210 Silver Hill Rd., Suitland, MD, 20746, USA. Proposals will be evaluated by a standing committee.
