Anza-Borrego Foundation is now accepting applications for its annual
Conservation Research Grants, supporting field research that contributes to
our understanding and conservation of this remarkable desert region.


Two competitive grants are available:

Howie Wier Memorial Conservation Research Grant — $2,500

Paul Jorgensen Conservation Research Grant — $2,500


Researchers at all career stages may apply, with priority given to
students. Eligible fields of study include ecology, systematics,
evolutionary biology, and conservation biology.


Grant funds are intended to help make field research possible by supporting
eligible expenses such as travel, supplies, equipment, and other fieldwork
costs.


Proposals will be evaluated based on:

   - Scholarly merit
   - Project design and feasibility
   - Contribution to the future of conservation in the region


Researchers are responsible for obtaining all necessary permits before
conducting field research.



Application deadline: December 15

Awards announced: January or February


Please share this opportunity with students, colleagues, and researchers
whose work may take them to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park or the Colorado
Desert.

Harold A. “Howie” Wier (1952-2001) was a native San Diegan and a lifelong
naturalist. He worked as a biological consultant and conservation biologist
throughout Southern California. He was active in the California Native
Plant Society, a past President of San Diego Audubon and a long-time member
of the Anza-Borrego Foundation. This grant program was established by
Anza-Borrego Foundation with the help of Howie’s family, friends and
colleagues as a fitting tribute to Howie’s passion.
Paul D. Jorgensen (1946-2012) was born in San Diego and spent his life
enjoying the diverse ecosystems of the region. He surfed the coast, studied
wildlife on the Channel Islands, managed the Tijuana National Estuarine
Sanctuary and worked as a State Park Resource Ecologist in the Colorado
Desert District of California State Parks. Paul was passionate about bird
research and restoring local ecosystems. This grant is given in his memory
as a fitting way to carry on his passion and legacy.
