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 (including 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 (including 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 at the time the research will be conducted. Graduate and undergraduate proposals will be evaluated separately.

Applicants may submit only one proposal per year and (beginning in 2013) only 2 proposals during their UAF student career. Students who have submitted proposals to this competition prior to 2013 will be allowed one additional submission.

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

Applicants should request a start date of no earlier than 1 July 2013 and no later than 1 January 2014. Funds must be spent by 30 June 2014.

Graduate proposals will be accepted for 1-year duration with budgets up to $8,000 per year. Undergraduate proposals are limited to 1 year for a total of up to $7,500.

Deadline: * Friday, 8 February 2013 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.
