Synopsis of Program:

The Global Change Student Research Grant Competition provides support to students for research related to global change with a focus on arctic and subarctic boreal regions (to include but not limited to North America). This competition is designed to give students experience with proposal writing and the peer review system as practiced by natural and social science funding agencies. We seek proposals involving the environmental, social or engineering components of global change (to include but not limited to climate change) and its effect upon arctic or subarctic processes, ecosystems, and/or societies. Students must place the proposed work in an interdisciplinary context by explaining its relevance to other academic disciplines and endeavors.

Eligibility Information:

Applicants must have graduate or undergraduate status in a degree-granting program at UAF or UAA at the time the research will be conducted. Graduate and undergraduate proposals will be evaluated separately.

Applicants may submit only one proposal each year.

Proposal must be written entirely by the student PI(s).

Applicants should request a start date of no earlier than 1 July 2012 and no later than 1 January 2013. Funds for a 1-year project or the first year of a 2-year project must be spent by 30 June 2013, and for the second year of a 2-year project by 30 June 2014, regardless of the start date.

Graduate proposals will be accepted for 1 or 2 year durations with budgets up to $10,000 per year. Year 2 funding will be contingent on submission of a satisfactory progress report and availability of funds.

Undergraduate proposals are limited to 1 year for a total of up to $10,000.

Deadline: * Friday, 10 February 2012 by 5 p.m. *

Proposals containing all required elements are due (electronic only to: susan.sugai@alaska.edu and cgc@iarc.uaf.edu). Late proposals will be returned without further consideration. Read and follow the complete guidelines carefully.
