FUNDING FOR PRAIRIE RESEARCH
offered by Prairie Biotic Research, Inc.
We Are Prairie Biotic Research is an all-volunteer, scientific public charity established in 2000 to foster basic biotic research in prairies and savannas. One way we do this is through a competitive Small Grants Program that funds grants up to $1000 for the study of any grassland taxon anywhere in the USA. We support both natural history and experimental science. Anyone with a U.S. Social Security number may apply. In 2017, we expect to fund at least 18 grants of up to $1000 each with the donations we have received, including some restricted by donors for work in IA or WI.
Since 2002, we’ve awarded 242 grants worth $232,076 to people in 36 states to study insects, plants, mycorrhizal fungi, mammals, reptiles, slime molds, spiders, snails, amphibians, birds, fish, invasive species, effects of management, and the human dimensions of conservation. Many of these grants supported graduate student research. We believe in the importance of collecting voucher specimens that will be carefully curated as information-rich specimens and donated to a public institution.
To Apply for a Grant Visit our website (prairiebioticresearch.org) to learn more, to find our proposal form, instructions, and a sample researcher agreement form that winners of this competition must sign. Check out the history and overview files in the Small Grants section of the website to see what sorts of proposals have won funding in the past. Several winning proposals from past years are available as models. Review the reports submitted by researchers of past years. Those who won funding in 2016 are ineligible for this funding in 2017, but those who won funding longer ago are welcome to submit proposals to further that same work or to support a new project. We must receive your proposal via email by December 20, 2016.
Become a Supporter Please make a donation to support our work through PayPal on our website. We cannot give away money that we don’t have. Any amount is welcome. PBR is volunteer-run so our overhead is very low. You may specify that your entire tax-deductible donation be given to researchers through our Small Grants Program, or to expand our research endowment that produces income we give away annually through this program. Please help us to help others!
We Foster Curiosity!
