The 2023 Carol Baird Graduate Student Award for Field Research
The UC Berkeley Natural History Field Stations invite applications for:
The 2023 Carol Baird Graduate Student Award for Field Research
Awards will be granted to UC Berkeley graduate students to support high quality research that is carried out primarily in the field, based in or around Berkeley’s Natural History Field Stations:
Angelo Coast Range Reserve
Blue Oak Ranch Reserve
Hastings Natural History Reservation
Point Reyes Field Station
Sagehen Creek Field Station
The fifth competition will support field research beginning in 2023. Proposals of up to 5 pages (total), describing the project, its importance, proposed methods and logistics, and outreach plan can be submitted electronically to c.erickson@berkeley.edu by
November 24th, 2022.
Awards of up to $25,000 will be made on the basis of merit. Funding may be requested for a single field season or multiple field seasons, and for work at or around a single or several reserves. Support allocations (amount per student, potential for renewal) are flexible, as long as the research is field-based, is of excellent quality, and is substantially improved by this support.
Further guidelines for proposal preparation can be found in the
attached flyer. Please reach out to
c.erickson@berkeley.edu with any questions about the application or award.
