Dear UC Riverside Community,



This is a reminder that we are still accepting proposals for the 2024–25
Mildred E. Mathias Graduate Student Research Grants
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ucnrs.org/research/student-research-funding/mathias-grant/__;!!CzAuKJ42GuquVTTmVmPViYEvSg!M-9ksaC9z1MwLO2489yHHTUIjPgr0VN4aIfFDuIsvrLi9mu2Xhzm6D83q303lJn4447uWWFMD-SDMTLk1nW2s-lisA$>.
The University of California, Natural Reserve System, provides Mathias
grants to support graduate student field research at its 41 reserves. Since
1988, more than 480 graduate students have received over $900,000 from the
Mathias program.



*Key Information:*

   - Eligibility: Doctoral and master’s students from any UC campus
   pursuing a graduate degree in any field are eligible
   - Research Requirement: Conduct your study on a UC Natural Reserve
   System reserve
   - Funding: This year, we anticipate awarding $38,000, with individual
   awards up to $3,000.



In addition to the base grant, the California Institute for Biodiversity
(CIB) offers matching funds for projects that commit to vouchering their
specimens. *These matching funds are additive, potentially increasing the
total award by up to $2,500 for eligible projects.*

   1. Up to $1,000 to support vouchering in durable collections (requires a
   short specimen management plan)
   2. Up to $500 for DNA sequencing costs (sequences must be made publicly
   available)
   3. Up to $1,000 for projects focused on insects, fungi, and soil
   biodiversity
