WILDLIFE TOXICOLOGY WORKING GROUP
2009 GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH AWARD The Wildlife Toxicology Working Group is pleased to announce the availability of a competitive graduate student research award. Students pursuing graduate studies in the area of wildlife toxicology at a College or University in 2009 will be eligible for the $500 award. An individual can only receive this award once. It is anticipated that the award recipient will present their research results at a future Wildlife Society meeting. Applicants should prepare a proposal, no longer than two pages in length, including a brief introduction, a statement of hypotheses being tested, description of methods, and statistical design. This grant can also be used to augment ongoing research. In addition, a one-page curriculum vitae (name, address, telephone number, email address, academic background, honors, professional experience, presentations and career goals) and the names and addresses of two Graduate Faculty references are to be included with the submission. A cover letter should briefly describe the submission, and state how the award would benefit the career or research of the student. Applicants must be or become Wildlife Society members. Three members of the Wildlife Toxicology Working Group will judge the proposals based on potential significance of the contribution, feasibility, originality, and qualifications of the applicant. Only applications (two page proposal, one page vitae, and cover letter) received by July 10, 2009 at the address below will be considered. Email applications are acceptable and must be received by July 10, 2009. Awards will be announced by August 15, 2009. Inquiries and submissions should be made to: Karen F.
