FUNDING FOR PRAIRIE RESEARCH



offered by

Prairie Biotic Research, Inc.







We Are      Prairie Biotic Research, Inc. is a Wisconsin nonprofit established
in 2000 to foster biotic research in prairies.  One of the ways we do this is
through a Small Grants Program that funds grants up to $1000 for the study of
any grassland taxon in the USA.  We are especially eager to support
independent researchers (individuals lacking institutional support), but
anyone may apply.  Since 2002, we've awarded 22 grants worth over $20,000 to
researchers in nine states to study insects, plants, mammals, reptiles and
spiders.  Many of these grants supported graduate student research.



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.





To Apply for a Grant      To apply for a grant, contact Michael Anderson at
Prairie Biotic Research, Inc., PO Box 5424, Madison, WI 53705, or by email at
pbr-grants@tds.net for a 2006 Grant Application Form.  Proposals must be
received by January 13, 2006.

To Become A Supporter      Please make a donation to support PBR and our Small
Grants Program.  Any amount is welcome.  PBR is run entirely by volunteers and
we maintain no offices so our overhead is very low.  You may specify that your
entire tax-deductible donation be given to researchers through our Small
Grants Program.  You may also specify: a geographical region in which the
research is to be done; research in one of three taxa (plants, invertebrates
or vertebrates); graduate student research; or our endowment fund to support
our Small Grants Program.
