Friends of Nachusa Grasslands 2022 Scientific Research Grants to Update for 2023
|
To support scientific endeavors, Friends of Nachusa Grasslands awards monetary grants to qualified candidates conducting scientific research significant to Nachusa Grasslands.
Research projects should focus primarily on prairie, savanna, wetland, woodland, and stream habitat management such as prescribed fire, seed collection, weed control, general or specific flora or faunal populations, and natural areas restoration. Special consideration may be given to proposals investigating the specific questions noted on Potential Research Topics at Nachusa Grasslands as well as the addendum to the Guidelines entitled “Potential Research Topics at Nachusa Grasslands,” but these research questions should not be considered limiting for grant applications. |
Thanks to our supporters' generous donations and matching grants, the annual award amounts have increased from $1,000 when we began the program in 2011 to a maximum of $66,000 in 2022.
