apply.B  Since 2002, webve awarded 22 grants worth over $20,000 to researchers in 
nine states to study insects, plants, mammals, reptiles and spiders.B  Many of 
these grants supported graduate student research.B  B In 2006, we expect to 
fund seven or more grants of up to $1,000 each, including geographically 
restricted funds for research in southeastern Wisconsin and Iowa.B B
