<br clear="all">Hello all,<br><br>The American Society of Naturalists just advertised a research award for Ph.D. students who have passed their candidacy exams. I think this is new, so I thought I would pass it along.<br>
<br>Matthew<br><br><br><br><div><strong>Applications for the 2013 ASN Student Research Awards</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>The ASN Student Research Awards support research by student members
that advances the goals of the society: the conceptual unification of
ecology, evolution, and behavior. Each award consists of a $2,000 check
to the candidate. An applicant must be a member of the ASN (membership
is international), must hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent, must
have passed to candidacy in a PhD program or equivalent, and must be at
least one year from completing the PhD. Applicants should send a
two-page proposal (not including references). In addition, applicants
should include a budget with justification (one page), a short
curriculum vitae (two pages), a statement from the PhD supervisor that
verifies that the applicant meets the eligibility requirements, and the
supervisor's recommendation supporting the research proposed by the
student (one page). Projects in all types of research (i.e., laboratory,
field, theory) are encouraged to apply. A total of six proposals will
receive awards. Proposals will be judged on originality, strength, and
significance of the questions being addressed; prospects for significant
results; and the match between the proposed research and the ASN's
mission. All materials should be compiled into one PDF file and sent via
e-mail to John K. Kelly at <a href="mailto:jkk@ku.edu?subject=" rel="jkk@ku.edu" target="_blank">jkk@ku.edu</a>,
with "ASN Student Research Award" in the subject line. The deadline for
submission of all materials is January 31, 2013. More information is
